Los Angeles, California, has some of the worst traffic in the nation. Indeed, sometimes it seems as if the streets were paved with cars already stuck in them for us to either wait behind or drive over or around. But most of my fellow Angelinos just brave this traffic day-in-day-out, courteous of their fellow commuters and joy-riders. Ah, but a small percent of our traveling companions are not so understanding and patient, a situation which sees the occasional driver weaving in & out of traffic dangerously, racing down the center turn lanes at 80 mph, crossing double yellow lines every few feet as the turn lanes go from left turns for us to left turns for oncoming traffic, and then cutting off everyone they were just behind whenever someone actually decides to use one of the turn lanes. In fact, some drivers here act as if they own the road, and I'd say 90% of them are driving Mercedes cars, and then a good 90% of them are driving silver Mercedes cars.
So I thought it might make for a fun and appropriate (joke) commercial for Mercedes to show a series of these hazardous driving episodes in Los Angeles with people driving (silver) Mercedes cars dangerously weaving in and out of traffic, cutting people off, immediately just driving out into traffic from a driveway without looking and causing accidents, honking like crazy and passing cars on the shoulder of the road, etc., and have the slogan say: "Perception is reality: Mercedes owns the road!"
