Uh huh.  So that white car that had somehow spun out in the #3 lane on
I-80 at one in the morning would have been totally at fault for being an
obstruction had I not narrowly missed it (avoiding a potentailly
life-threatening accident) because I was looking at the construction of
the I-880 flyover ramp?  My not paying attention to the road (like I
should have) would have had no basis of fault in the potential accident?

Again I think that you are presenting yet another narrow-minded
viewpoint based off of a grid of numbers and "facts".
