I'D like to say a big thank you to the alert driver of the car which avoided crashing into the driver's side of the taxi that I was a front seat passenger in.

The incident was at about 4pm on Thursday, September 2 at Intack traffic lights, Blackburn.

The taxi driver sped through the lights to go up Shadsworth Road, not just putting my life at risk but yours too. Thank you.
