FOLLY OF PEDESTRIANS
Comment on the folly of some pedestrians was made by Mr Douglas Cowburn, the Camberwell coroner, in recording a verdict of “ Accidental death’’ .at the inquest on a woman who was fatally struck by a motor cycle when she ran into the road to fetch her nine-year-old sou’s ball. “Is not this the old story?” remarked tho coroner. “ Pedestrians go into tho road hesitatingly, not making up their minds what to do, not havjng the courage to stand still, then running about in this and that direction, so that nobody has the slightest idea what they are going to do. We hear a great deal about the recklessness of motorists, and no doubt some of them are reckless. It is equally true that some pedestrians are extraordinarily foolish.”
