Info from Licensor: "On my daily drive home and three drivers think they have the right of way. The speed limit before the light was 40 and I was doing maybe 8mph over, but as I approached the light I let off the accelerator to slow down because I noticed the Jeep was going to go ahead with his left turn on a red light, so I decided to merge over and noticed the Dodge behind him was going to continue too. Instead of slamming on my breaks and sliding on the semi-wet roads, I committed to the maneuver. In between the Jeep and the Dodge, the back end of my Volvo V70R slid a bit causing a slight drift. Luckily, I know what my car feels like when the rear end kicks out and compensated for the Chrysler that pulled a right turn on a red into the far lane. I accelerated at the end to get in front and made my way home safely."
