OF the 919 people killed on the roads in England in one month, 564 met their deaths in the blackout.

This means that, on an averago, 18 people were killed every night.

Pedestrian victims of the black-out: totalled 424. Only three of them were under 15 years of age.

And of the 424, 355, including the three children, died on roads subject to speed limits.

The London Metropolitan area, na! might be expected, was the most langerous spol.

It handed the list with a total of 131 deaths-4 in the black-out.
