He was on me before I saw him…

1 Jan 1946

No. 11. (51/2 × 33/4) "'I was trying to keep the rain out of my eyes' said this young cyclist. Understandable, of course. We policemen see lots of chaps riding blind like that, especially in winter. But it's just asking for an accident." ¶ Nearly 1,200 cyclists were killed on the roads in 1944— some 200 of them under fifteen. One way to stop these awful tragedies is always to ride with your head up and keep a good look-out—particularly when it's foggy, wet or windy. But it usually takes more than one to make an accident, so whether you're riding, driving or walking, don't endanger others by running into danger yourself.
