Another case of not paying attention. Be ready for the unexpected. Nobody expects a car to be stalled on the middle of a bridge, or any roadway, but that's what you need to be ready for. To hit something that is standing still is unexcusable. Because the driver of the sedan was not paying attention, the owner of the convertible almost got killed. At the very least, he lost a car that was very special to him. Do not minimize that, either.
