The original submission notes: “Roundabout with 3 lanes, I pull into the left-hand lane to exit the roundabout as this silly old codger decides to pull out as I m coming round. I have to swerve round him a bit. I decide not to pip my horn and let it go, but looking in my mirror he s going mental, as if it s my fault that he decided to pull out on me and not give way to the right. This guy clearly can t remember the time when he learned to drive.” Keeping this first-hand wording matters because it preserves how the event was experienced at the time of reporting.
