Sir, – Driving home on Christmas Night I happened upon a pedestrian, clearly the worse for wear, with no form of illumination, walking on a rural road and wearing dark clothing. This man was clearly a danger to himself and other road users. If an amendment to the Road Traffic Act were enacted that would see pedestrians on thoroughfares fined for not using a flashlight and florescent vest, it would go a long way to solve this worrisome problem. – Yours, etc,
