DON'T SPLASH PEDESTRIANS
SPLASHING IS DANGEROUS
Springtime means showers and
puddles. The Ontario Safety
League thanks the large majority
of drivers who take pains to
avoid splashing pedestrians, and
hopes that this courtesy will be-
come universal in time. Splashing
is dangerous, too, when it sud-
denly obscures the vision of an-
other driver, Another hazard on
side roads is the fact that puddles
sometimes conceal a deep hole.
