In Scotland we're suddenly alarmed to hear that lots of pedestrians are being killed. The real scary thing, if you look closely, is that this is just a small blip - with numbers actually not all that much higher than normal. It's just that we're talking about it for a change.

The police have responded by asking us all to wear reflective flourescent clothes. I wonder, does advice like this make us feel we're doing something, even if we know it'll never happen?

It is also winter, it is darker earlier and cloudy duirng the day, if cold / wet people try and walk faster to get places.

Could be a number of factors.
