Is he stepping to death?

1 Jan 1940

IS HE STEEPING TO DEATH? 40 Many of them will never walk again. It is quiet, sudden ... "The driver just didn't see him in the black-out." Thousands every week are being killed or maimed—nearly 1,200 road deaths in one month alone. Every night, people step—heedless—off the kerb. They didn't expect it to happen to them—any more than you do. But although there's a special black-out speed limit—law cannot save your life. Bear this constantly, consciously in mind : there is death in the roads. Don't think that you can get away with taking any chances.
