Abstract
MOST research work on road accidents has been concerned with the physical or mental state of the driver of the car, but H. H. Ferguson and W.R. Geddes, in Occupational Psychology (14, No. 4), describe some recent work done in New Zealand on road accidents from a very unusual point of view. These writers investigated the beliefs of pedestrians regarding their own visibility, to see how far these beliefs compared with their actual visibility.
