Road Safety No. 41 True Stories No. 2 (7 × 41/4) TRUE STORIES (taken from road accident records) No. 2 WITHOUT STOPPING TO THINK ... It's a common enough case ! This man suddenly saw a friend, stepped off the kerb to cross — right under a car. The man was killed outright; the car occupants suffered cuts and shock. Kerb Drill (you'll find it in the Highway Code, Paragraph 15) tells you plainly enough: "Stop, look right, left, and right again ... then cross at right angles ..." If only this chap had done this ! Over 160,000 human beings were killed or injured on the roads last year.
