Consumer Description

WHEN I LEFT MY HOME FOR WORK, I OF COURSE USED MY DOOR HANDLE TO PULL THE DOOR SHUT. I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT MY HAND TRANSFERRED THE RESIDUE TO THE WHEEL. WHEN I MADE MY LEFT TURN, I EXPECTED MY WHEEL TO GLIDE THROUGH MY HAND, AS IT NORMALLY DOES, WHEN COMING OUT OF THE CORNER. INSTEAD, AS THE WHEEL SLID THROUGH MY HAND IT CAUGHT THE STICKY PATCH AND KEPT MY CAR IN A LEFT TURN. THERE WAS A CAR IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO ME BUT SLIGHTLY BEHIND ME(BOTH LANES MAKE A LEFT) AND AS I CROSSED INTO HIS LANE (COMPLETELY CUTTING HIM OFF) HE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND HIT HIS HORN. *TR
