Unfair. Where all road users arc capable of error it is manifestly unfair to saddle any one class with the blame. All sections of road users must share the responsibility for making tile roads safe. —Bristol Evening Post. Combination. The report strengthens' the view of ail motorists who luivo thought about tho matter, that road accidents are not attributable to any one cause, but to a combination of causes.—Huddersfield Daily Examiner. Development, One result of ribbon development is that it is becoming difficult in many parts of the country—and especially round Midland towns —to know where the town ends and tho countryside begins.—Express and Star, Wolverhampton. Statistics.
If any part of the analysis is open to doubt then the whole analysis falls under suspicion of not; representing the situation as it actually existed on the roads during tho 12 months covered by the analysis.—Aberdeen Press and Journal. If Only. If statistics could only record the number of lives that have been saved by the altertncss and presence of mind of the driver there would bo something to set against a toll which, I agree, is deplorable indeed.—Sir Malconr Campbell, in the London Daily Mail. Crossings.
