One Monday morning, Tom wakes up at 6 o’clock. He eats breakfast and goes to work. The weather is sunny and the roads are busy.

At 8 o’clock, a young woman gets into his taxi.

“Good morning,” she says.

“Good morning,” Tom says.

She wants to go to the train station. Tom starts driving.

When they are near a big crossroads, the traffic light is green. Tom continues to drive.

Suddenly, a red car comes very fast from the right side. The driver does not stop at the red light.
