Ah, once again, Dhesi demonstrates to the world that he really doesn't have a
clue.

Simple concept.  I'll explain it in terms that even a person with a third
grade education can understand.

The prior poster, to whom you so foolishly responded, made the statement that
people who get in accidents while changing lanes are not paying attention to
the traffic around them.  He did not, as you claimed, make the statement that
people who change lanes pay less attention than those who do not.

In fact, a simple logical exercise would demonstrate the stupidity of your
claim.  Fact:  the vast majority of people who change lanes do not get in
accidents.  Stipulation:  the people who do get in accidents while changing
lanes are not paying attention to the traffic around them.

Logical conclusion:  the vast majority of those who change lanes are paying
attention because they do not get in accidents.

Even a third grader could see that.

Simple enough for your brain to comprehend?
