Dear Madam,
I feel a letter to you explaining my actions of this Thursday would be of some benefit to both of us.
It will hopefully explain to you why I felt that as an Ambulance driver (and I use this term loosely, as still under training) I had right of way at the roundabout.
This will also hopefully serve as a portal for my frustrations, as if I were to meet you face to face, I may have difficulty in forming my words between the expletives!!
I am fully aware that the Highway Code states a driver should give way to traffic from the right and as you were actually on the roundabout, you may have felt justified in the look of complete disgust that you gave me, as I politely pushed my vehicle onto the roundabout, to take right of way.
Might I point out that there are additional sections in the Highway Code explaining that I actually was not rude, or in the wrong and in fact I am a very mild mannered Ambulance man driving an enormous bloody great yellow truck with flashing lights on the roof, side panels, rear, and center grill along with flashing headlights, oh and did I mention the rather loud deafening siren that we had going?
All this may have given you a clue that I was not prepared to patiently wait while you navigated the junction, whilst combing your hair.
In the spirit of reconciliation, I hope this letter has gone some way to explain why, in future when you see an Ambulance, you may think back to our little awkward moment and next time GIVE WAY TO ME!!!
Kind Regards
