Traffic Control
Sir, —My apologies to you and to “Ham” and Mr Rawlings. I should have known that irony, however heavy-
handed, is bound to be misunderstood. In fact, as a reader of, rather than a contributor to, your letters column, I think I recall your warning correspondents to that effect. In extenuation, I can only plead that I did give a rather simple clue by putting the word “interfering” in inverted commas. And now, just to set any remaining doubts at rest, may I say that I am entirely in favour of the maximum interference possible, whether by police, Transport Department, or local body officers, or all three together, with the recklessness, carelessness, and utter stupidity that one sees almost daily on our roads and which undoubtedly are the main causes of our disgraceful accident record.—Yours, etc., LET WELL ALONE. January 5, 1966.
