Dark clothes on a Friday night nearly caused an accident

Elaine Glogauer, Johannesburg

I entreat my frum brothers and sisters to take better care of themselves by doing any or all of the following:

* Wear something luminous or wear an item of clothing that will show up in the dark; a scarf will do very well.

* Walk on the side of the road facing oncoming traffic.

* Try to stay as close to street lighting as possible.

These are simple measures which would make people safer and would surely not infringe on their Shabbat observance.

Please, be safe.
