ROAD SAFETY
Sir, —There are unending discussions about the dangers of the road, and the public’s reaction to rules designed to make life less perilous. Mere thoughtlessness causes many a death. There is one general rule, however, not arbitrary but pleasing to all, whether on foot or on wheel. It is to pass behind instead of in front whereever possible and reasonable. This simple rule will foster courtesy and thought for others, and safety for all. Even in the event of indecision, there is a pause instead of rushing on to a possible death. Every child should be taught this simple rule, and every grown-up person should practise it, making his intention clear to all. A pencil and paper will soon illustrate the advantages of this rule.—Yours. S.H.H. August 29. 1947.
