Teaser Of The Day No. 311

[Carl]

Two cars are travelling down the centre of town. One of them is a man driving a little red car. The man driving the red car overtakes the black car as it is travelling too slow for his liking. The driver, while doing this, misjudged the amount of time he had to pass before he would get in the way of oncoming traffic.

The black car swerves into a local shop to avoid an accident and crashes through the window. The red car swerves as well out
of the way of the oncoming traffic and successfully avoids all the oncoming cars without harming himself. In the black car, however, there is one dead man found after the accident. Despite this, the driver of the red car is not charged with manslaughter.

Why not ?


Answer will be provided next Thursday evening after 21:00.
