It's Your Own Fault For Driving On That Road At That Time

It looks like a $166 traffic ticket written against a Florida driver whose crash was caused by her trying to avoid a sofa that landed in the lane in front of her will be dismissed, meaning that the cops came to their senses, though the officer who wrote her up insists that he was right. He says that if you leave proper distance between you and the car in front of you, you'll have plenty of time to stop. That's not how freeway driving works, and if a piece of furniture flies off a flatbed, you will not have a chance unless you're a half-mile back, which you will not be. The tickets should go to the idiots who don't secure items to their pickups. (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
