Wear White At Night For Road Safety

 

Catchy and memorable safety messages abound. My favourites are>

1 Wear white at night. (UK road safety.)

2 When thunder roars, stay indoors. (Swimming pool sign in singapore.)

3 He was right, dead right as he sped along but he's just as dead as if he were wrong. (Victorian gravestone. Is - were is subjunctive.)

The Scottish lorry driver's song is in this

Poem 376

Wear white at night

Seen in headlights

And reflectors

Even better

Alive, not dead

Just think ahead

Dead cats and dogs

On roads well known

Stay safe, night white 

Go safely home

White's safe and seen

Black's for burglars

White's for walkers

Black's for murders

White's for children

Fathers, mothers

Adults teachers

And all others.

White's much safer

For dotor and nurse

Wear white walking

Not in a hearse

White is light, right

Wear white at night

White looks so clean

White's safely seen.

Why wear black shoes?

They don't show mud

Black coats and hats

They won't show blood

White hat, scarf, matching gloves

Safer for all your loves

If you don't want them back

Send them out wearing black..
