Road Safety
■ Sir. —1 am surprised that ' the hysterical outburst of j “Concerned” condemning drivers and traffic officers ever reached print. I am also surprised that Mr Thomas deigned to comment. The facts i are that the greater majority of motorists observe both I crossings and lights, pay a . licence fee for the use of the j road and insure against hitting “Concerned” and his or her like when they blatantly wander off footpaths into the paths of oncoming traffic Very often the temptation is to souvenir a couple of the 1 arrogant, lead-footed, unlic-
ensed road pedestrians or alternatively invade their footpath sanctuaries with a modern eight-horse beetle and observe the reactions. The motorists proportionately, and the “swarms” of traffic officers would be far ahead of “Concerned's" clique in road sense, rule observation, and manners.—Yours, etc.. FEARLESS FRANK. October 29, 1963.
