To the young lady with the blond hair driving a blue car on Prince Albert Road. I’m REALLY sorry. I was in a blue caravan and was trying to merge lanes and almost side swiped you.
You were kind enough to honk your horn to let me know I was gonna hit you—I actually saw you before you did this, but thank you anyways. I had looked in my side-view mirror and I didn’t see you, I was being an idiot and started to merge before doing my shoulder check.
I just wanted to say that I am sorry and there’s no excuse for what I did, and to thank you for being a more attentive driver than me. —Promise to be a Better Driver
