Automated female voice, “Our records indicate you may have been involved in a non fatal accident in the last 12 months”.
Now what would be the point of calling someone who had been involved in a fatal accident?

Dirty Linen By K Morris
They washed filthy linen in a public place. The people blanched at their disgrace.
Those two hung soiled garments in the town square. The populace sniggered. The couple didn’t care.
They left their unclean washing with the garbage to be taken away. The binman said, “the rubbish can go but your dirty laundry must stay”.
