The traffic light turned amber. On any other day Geoff would have braked, but today something compelled him to floor the accelerator.
His wife, Janet, looked over, alarmed. “What are you doing?”
Grim-faced, Geoff focused on the road ahead. The light went red. Janet covered her eyes as the car shot through the intersection.
Safely on the other side, Geoff eased off on the accelerator and breathed out.
“What was that all about?” Janet asked.
Geoff was lost for words.
Glancing in the mirror, his jaw dropped as he watched a jack-knifing lorry careering into stationary cars at the intersection.
