A mother is calling for lower speed limits after a motorist narrowly avoided her while walking with two young children, wrecking a toy pushchair in the process. 

Zoe Claire Lane was out and about in a residential area of Bicester with her eight-year-old and two-year-old, pushing a toy pram, when a car "drove through" her daughter's toy pushchair. 

Ms Lane said the car had broken the speed limit of 30mph and did not stop.

This took place at around 3.45pm on Wednesday (September 18) in Whitelands Way by the Co-op, which is on the corner of the road.

"I had to pull her hard to save her from being pulled into the road and from under the car," Ms Lane recalled.

"This isn’t my first experience of cars ripping past the Co-op or around that blind corner and I always have hold of my little one tightly.

"I believe that there have been quite a few complaints about this particular stretch of road on Kingsmere."

The mother-of-two is now calling for the road's speed limit to be reduced to 20mph following the incident which left her daughter "beside herself from shock".

"As much as a two-year-old knows about emotions she knew that something bad had happened to her," Ms Lane said.

"There was a lot of consoling from myself and witnesses that saw the incident."

Ms Lane said the incident has been reported to Thames Valley Police. 

Thames Valley Police has been contacted for comment. 

It comes as Bicester has been included in the talks for 20mph speed limits as part of the countywide Speed Limit Project led by Oxfordshire County Council. 

Town and county councillors in Bicester had indicated support for the 20mph in principle as the town was one of the last across the county not to have published plans for the speed changes. 

Bicester Town councillor, Nick Mawer, said he would welcome 20mph as a limit for roads in housing estates which would make it "safer for people but also safer for pets". 

He said he would welcome 20mph outside schools in the town as well. 

Once residents and parish or town councils apply for the speed limits in their areas to be changed, the county council assesses the need.

Factors such as the number of people seriously injured or killed and the number of pedestrians crossing the roads are taken into account.
