Jeez...this is a scary fact
THE CORONER'S OFFICE IS ASKING DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, WITH IT GETTING DARK OUT SO EARLY.
65 PEDESTRIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED ON THE ROADS IN BC SO FAR THIS YEAR. 26 OF THESE DEATHS HAVE OCCURED SINCE OCTOBER.
DRIVERS SHOULD MAKE SURE THEIR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. PEOPLE ON FOOT SHOULD BE VISIBLE.
I'm staying inside :scared:

1. Hmm. People ought to be wearing
flourescent tape on their jackets or bycycles or whatever. It makes a pedestrian easier to see.

That's a lot of runovers. x(

6. It may not be just the weather...
... for example, 58% of all traffic deaths in Guadalajara, Mexico, are pedestrians....

It might be drivers aiming for pedestrians.... :wow:
