A dramatic near-miss at a busy junction has raised concerns about road safety and awareness from both drivers and vulnerable road users. The incident involved a mobility scooter user crossing at traffic lights while they were turning from amber to green for vehicles—leading to a close call with a driver who failed to heed multiple warnings from other motorists.

According to dashcam footage, the mobility scooter user began crossing as the lights were changing, entering the crossing during the amber phase and continuing as they turned green for traffic. Meanwhile, a driver failed to notice the individual on the road, despite other drivers sounding their horns and gesturing to alert them.

The vehicle came dangerously close to colliding with the mobility scooter, narrowly missing the vulnerable road user. Eyewitnesses described the scene as “tense and frightening,” noting that the situation could have ended in tragedy if not for the quick reactions of surrounding drivers.

This incident underscores the need for heightened awareness and shared responsibility on the roads to prevent future close calls—or worse.
