"On the M6 I moved from the centre lane to the fast lane but the other car
didn't give way."
"Three men approached me from the minibus. I thought they were coming to
apologise. Two of the men grabbed hold of me by the arms, and the first
slapped me several times across the face. I Knee'd the man in the groin, but
didn't connect properly, so I kicked him in the shin."

"An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished."
"I am sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road
when I struck him."

by some stray cows."
