PETA campaigns globally to stop especially corporate and corporately sponsored cruelty to animals in the name of science and in the name of entertainment - and the holiday airline TUI is one of them. When corporate directors show indifference to the campaigns, public shaming is an option.

Arriving at T-junctions, look to the right first - look for approaching traffic - judge their speed and distance, and any signals - let those drivers see you looking.

I saw children waving their arms out of a moving car. A passenger on a moving train stuck his head out of a window (it was a vintage carriage) - he received fatal injuries when his head struck a piece of railway equipment.
Surgeons re-skinned the arm wrist and hand of a car driver who's car overturned whilst her arm was hanging out of the window, scraping her arm along the road whilst squashed between the road and the car. I often see drivers' elbows poking out of their window - a collision with a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction could result in fatal injuries. A friend of one of my students lost three fingers of his right hand when his car crashed whilst his elbow was poking out - he was fortunate. Children and animals should not be allowed to poke their arms or heads out of moving vehicles. The consequences could be serious, even fatal. When children are in moving vehicles, drivers should lock the rear doors and windows to prevent children from opening them.

How many litres of fuel does your car hold? The average car holds 50 to 60 litres. Well, a Boeing 747 holds 216,000 litres! Think how far we take a car on that!

Re. the drama of an aircraft crashing onto a busy street in London. In all forms of transport 98% of accidents include human error in causation. 95% are caused by operator error and 3% are attributable to indirect causes including design. The remaining 2% are attributable to natural causes including weather.

How do we approach pedestrian crossings? Do we anticipate the actions of pedestrians? Are we ready to slow or stop our car? What is the manifestation of our anticipation? By being ready to slow or stop our car. How can we be ready to slow or stop our car? By releasing the gas to reduce momentum. If in doubt what should we do? Stop. This is defensive driving. Defensive driving reduces the risk.

Today in Raynes Park the husband of a friend was knocked down at a pedestrian crossing by a car.

What are we doing inside our car whilst we are approaching a pedestrian crossing? Are we talking, smoking, eating, phoning, texting, or looking out for pedestrians at or near the crossing?
