The original submission notes: “Whilst heading from Newark westbound towards Leicester along the A46 there was a lot of slow moving traffic which didn t have much space between cars. Traffic the other way was very little. Taking advantage of this a driver in a Seat overtook the almost stationary queue and when a vehicle was coming the other way he barged into the queue to get out of the way. It wasn t his right of way over the vehicle who was in the queue but if this driver hadn t let the queue barger in he would have been held responsible for the crash if one occurred for not letting the queue barger in even though it was his right of way. Why do they think others should be denied their freedom for the preferences of these bigoted drivers?” Keeping this first-hand wording matters because it preserves how the event was experienced at the time of reporting.
