Warning Lights On Roads
Sir. —You recently printed complaints about poor warning lights at roadside accidents. It should be pointed out to these people that they are supposed by law to be able to stop their vehicles in half the visible distance ahead. This includes the distance visible in their owe headlights on either up or down beam, and in any prevailing conditions. These lame brains who drive blindly into stationary objects have not got their vehicles under control, and should be smartly separated from their licences in the interest of the safety of other road users. There are genuine accidents, but a lot of the crashes today are plain manslaughter and those responsible should be charged with such, and lose their personal insurance claims.— Yours, etc.. E.J.E. May 14, 1961.
