主題: 衝紅燈 (中譯英)

I was once on a minibus.The driver kept talking and talking up a storm on his cellphone.

Though he had his phone switched to the hands-free mode, he was no doubt distracted. Whizzing through the red light, he almost kicked the bucket for a simple cellphone convo! How careless he was!

How about these?


Whizzing through the red light, he almost kicked the bucket
with all innocent passengers for a simple cellphone convo!

One time I saw a driver focusing on talking over his mobile phone.

It was a hand free device, nevertheless it could divert the driver's attention.

The mini-bus rammed through the red lights, almost causing a fatal accident.
Alternative: The mini-bus had a dash through the red lights/traffic lights, almost causing a fatal accident.

I think "rammed through" can be used in this context, do correct me if I'm wrong.

I didn't mention mini-bus on my first line.

One time I was on a mini-bus and saw the driver focusing on talking over his mobile phone.

It was a hand free device, however the driver's attention might still be diverted.
/(the driver might be distracted)

My experience once travelling by a public light bus that the driver was only concentrating on chatting via a portable phone. Despite a hand-free device was used, the driver's attention was inevitably diverted. The vehicle had unconsciously rushed arcoss the road even though the traffic light was in red. It nearly caused a fatal accident.
