Those of us who live in urbanized areas with street lighting have less to concern ourselves. But a few years ago, returning in the evening from Connecticut, I traveled on the Viking Fleet ferry from New London to Montauk, then the LIRR to Jamaica. It was not a terribly long walk from the ferry dock to the railroad station, but the road was so dark, and devoid of sidewalks, that I was very uncomfortable walking. Did so as one should--on the left side and facing traffic--but whenever a vehicle approached I was completely blinded (do so many motorists not know to dim their high beams when approaching someone?). I had not been anticipating the usefulness of reflective clothing, but I think it would have been helpful at the time. |
