To Those Who Use
The Highways
At Night
for either driving or walking
I
I APPEAL to the motorists of, Ontario to make night
driving (and night walking) as safe and enjoyable as
driving (or walking) by day. I believe it can be done
—by the simple expedient of applying the principles
of COURTESY. ’
Let us make it an infallible rule to dip or dim out
lights when meeting other cars. It will soon become
almost automatic for us to do so. Oncoming drivers
will respond. Within a very short time, this “deliber
ate gesture” of Courtesy (as it now is) will become ai
fixed habit.
Do not crowd the other Fellow when meeting or|
passing. If he is inclined to be a nervous driver, he
may easily misjudge distance at night. We don’t know.
And it costs us nothing to give him several feet of
clearance. (
Let us give pedestrians MORE than ample space for,
walking. We have all the advantage when we are
driving and the other fellow is afoot. Let Us not use
that advantage in a bullying way.
On the other hand, when we are walking, let us show
true courtesy to those who are driving. When we walk .
WITEt traffic, we place ALL the responsibility upon
the motorist. Always walk facing oncoming traffic,
and wear or carry something light that the lights of
oncoming cars will pick up, even if you carry only a
partly opened newspaper.
These are a few instances only, to demonstrate the
SPIRIT of Courtesy which I am suggesting and
recommending to the people of Ontario.
Practise and preach the golden rule of the road *-*
“Show to others the same courtesy that you would
like to have shown, to you”.
Sincerely yours,
