Summary: A road-safety film, dealing with the dangers of blackout conditions.
Description: A cyclist, a despatch-rider, a woman motorist, a lorry driver and a pedestrian are all involved in an accident - a Police Constable explains that each is partly to blame: the cyclist had no rear light; the despatch rider was going too fast; the woman was on an unnecessary journey and too close to the lorry; the lorry driver was driving by the line down the middle of the road; the pedestrian was too inconspicuous.
