Shockingly, a Ford Fiesta is seen failing to stop and drives straight into her sign before roaring off.
The video was filmed on the 13th January 2023.
Richard’s camera has also recorded a woman being hit by a car in the same spot.
He also caught a biker smashing into the back of a car that braked suddenly.
Six years ago, one of his videos showed a schoolgirl being knocked down on the crossing.
Richard Habgood, speaking to the BBC, said: “We have one directed at the crossing because at least once a week someone drives through while the ladies [patrol officers] are on the crossing.
Habgood believes the crossing is surrounded by distractions, such as a nearby bus stop.
“I think the crossing should be moved.
“Short-term, they could remove pinch points that are distracting drivers.
“Drivers look at that hazard rather than the crossing,” he said.
A spokesperson said the local neighbourhood policing team would monitor further incidents.
One spokesperson said: “The team will be making contact with the council to discuss how they can support the issue moving forward.
Nick Adams-King, Hampshire County Council’s executive member for highways and transport, said he was “very concerned” by the reports.
“Our school crossing patroller, who was involved in an incident on Friday, has had an opportunity to discuss the incident with our highways team, and I’m thankful to learn she was not seriously hurt.
“We will be reviewing the incidents ourselves to consider whether any interventions could be put in place that would improve road safety at this location.”
