When I go for a walk after dark, I always wear light-colored clothing.
This is a big issue in my area. People out walking at night in dark
clothing. There have been people killed because of this.
But Frank is right, we shouldn't be telling people that they should be
wearing visible clothing by law. People should be smart enough to figure
this out for themselves. Education is better than legislation.
