Default Lost in translation

I put a selection of such translations on my website a while ago...

For example,

'to go out of control', as in 'the vehicle went out of control' = The
driver lost control of the vehicle.

'I didn't see you' = 1) I didn't look. 2) I looked but as you are only
a cyclist I decided to pull out anyway.

'occasionally drift over the speed limit' = 'habitually and wilfully
flout the speed limit.
