Dear Editor,
I was on the bus going home in the evening and a man ran out into the road, the bus driver just about missed him. I wish to alert people to the dangers of wearing dark clothing on winter nights, with just your face or hands showing. Especially so, if you have a dull complexion. Many Ethnographic studies have shown that dull skin reflects less light than fair skin. Felix Von Luschan at the beginning of the twentieth century showed that dull skin as a reflectivity of 24%, whilst fair skin had a reflectivity of between 50% and 64%. I know that the middle class liberals with their political correctness, like us to think that skin colour doesn’t matter. However, in this case the middle class liberals have taken equality past the bounds of credibility, considering people lives are in danger from serious injury or death. I think particularly, if you have a dull complexion then it would be safer to wear light clothing in the dark.

In this case it was nothing to do with the clothing, rather the man ran into the road, probably in a moment of carelessness without looking properly. I'd prefer it if people drove motor vehicles so they can stop in the distance they can see to be clear, but of course the right wing extremist sociopaths abhor any suggestion of taking responsibility for their actions, or the costs they inflict on others, and much prefer to make victims of others and then victim blame. It's like a wet dream for them. Animals, fallen trees, debris, potholes are also dark and unlit, and you ought to be paying attention to what is around you and driving at a speed appropriate for the conditions, if you wish to avoid crashing into things. If you are incapable of this or just can't be bothered, hand your driving license back to the DVLA as you are not fit to be behind the wheel. |

But pedestrians also have a responsibility not to act in a dangerous manner. It can't be all down to drivers. Anyway who cares, Egginton probably made the whole thing up in order to pursue his race agenda. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl Snow videos: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3QvmL4UWBmHFMKWiwYm_gg |

I prefer to run in dark clothes at night as reflective clothing gives you a false sense of security. If I know I can't be seen then I can't expect people to no run me over, therefore I run with hypervigilance. -- Brian Wakem Lower Bourne, Farnham, Surrey http://www.brianwakem.co.uk/weather Live obs @ 10:21:22 : 8.8C, DP 8.8C, RH 100%, 0.2 mm |
