THE other day, as we were in the course of turning right on the green filter light from Banbury Road, Kidlington, into the Old Bicester Road, a lady driver came at high speed through a red light from the Banbury direction.

Only my wife’s swift reaction in braking avoided disaster or our car would have been hit broadside on.

As we passed we observed she had a phone clasped to her ear and a far-away look – she didn’t even see us!

Will drivers never learn – unless they succeed in killing themselves but just as likely it will be innocent others.
