· ROAD SAFETY
mention that frequent cases of "outting in" and overtaking close to-blind corners are occurring and were there more motor trafic in Hồng Kong, undoubtedly bad ac- cidents would occur. Again, are the authorities taking any steps to open up these blind corners? . We are inclined to think that we are
living a fool's paradise. Owing to the few cars here, the road casualties, if published, would pro- bably not be great, but to anybody
accustomed to motoring in Great Britain or the United States of America, it becomes painfully ob-
vious how careless the driving
often is in Hong Kong. And to make the motorist's lot an even unhappier, one, traffic police are often far too abrupt in changing their signals, especially in busy places like the foot of Garden Road and the Junction of Pedder Street and Queen's Road Central
Safety First however, does not depend entirely on the motorist. It depends also on the authorities to keep the roads safe, though in the few serious cases of skidding that we have here, the motorist is more often than not to blame for not having attended to such points as the correct pressure in his tyres and that they are not worn. It would, however, help were the procedure of large towns in Europe or the USA adopted, and that is to have grit in recep- tacles ready for the traffic police to use in the wet weather. One point that needs Immediate atten- tion is that all along the Praya, from the Victoria Recreation Club there is not even a curb to mark the edge of the road. The urgent need for this is too obvious to need recapitulation for not only is there the danger of a car, as the result of skid, falling into the harbour, but in the past we have had cases where cars that were parked out side the Ferry Wharf or. Elake Pier, rolling into the harbour when some curious individual, in in- vestigating the machinery of the vehicle, unconsciously released the brake or put the gear into
