I worked some traffic deaths.  Chaotic.   Same with fires.  Or anything that disrupts the expected flow.  Rain and darkness and all sorts of unexpected flashing lights on a strange road lead to confusion.   I have seen many drivers make poor decisions thinking they were getting out of the mess.   And a few get tickets for it.   I think it is entirely possible both sides are telling the truth as they perceive it.    Scottie thought he was doing what he was told.   He wasn't.

Tiger will give us an exciting round every so often , but putting together 4 in a row  will be physically tough.
