Dear Editor:
There have been quite a few stories lately about cars hitting pedestrians after dark.
I can understand why pedestrians get hit.
They wear dark clothing and the cars can't see them. It is just as simple as that.
When I am driving at night, I am very careful to watch for people on foot, and very often I only see them when they move and I see a partial silhouette against something light.
I think that pedestrians should wear those vests that road workers wear - orange and yellow with reflective tape.
I know many people are out walking at night; it gets dark so early at this time of year.
Why not be safe and get one of those reflective vests?
You could also ask someone to give you a reflective vest as a Christmas present.
