“I was driving a chevy Spark 2015 to my local supermarket, less than 3 or so miles from my home. I was several miles under the 40 MPH speed limit. I was in the right lane of a two lane road. I could see stopped traffic quite a ways ahead of me ' also in the right lane. There were at least 6-7 cars in front of me and a truck in front of the cars. I could see the cars/truck were stopped for the stoplight but they were quite a ways ahead of me. There was no one in the left lane so I decided to make a lane change as there was plenty of room ahead of me to do so. …”
