Reminds me of a one-sided conversation I once had, when I lived in a smallish village in East Anglia, with a rather stroppy female acquaintance who drove a Range Rover. The area was characterised by narrow lanes and, in particular, a long narrow bridge in the middle of the village, with signs at each end saying "Give way to traffic on the bridge".
She announced to me that she never, ever reversed. She simply couldn't, she said, and she wasn't going to try. I managed to keep my mouth shut, but I would have welcomed the opportunity to put her resolution to the test.
