Thread for idiots

If you know Mr Wrathall at all, then I have sympathy for the fact he might face prison for an error, but it is an error we all know not to do, especially when in control of a larger than usual vehicle. Assuming the facts of the case are as reported, there is really no justification for a ~10 minute long conversation so engrossing you fail to look when entering a roundabout.

I'm not sure about "error", that puts it on roughly the same level as hitting the wrong button on your phone. How about "wilfully impairing his control of a piece of heavy machinery in a public space"?
