Local rider Drayton Seabloom, 2, went crashing into the dirt while trying to ride a sheep during the mutton bustin’ contest during the Little Britches Rodeo at the Outriders’ Arena in 100 Mile House on May 17. Mom, Laura Thompson, ran behind trying to keep up with the darting animal and rider.
Share road carefully and live
All kinds of people use roads to get where they need to be, but a lot of them don’t have seat belts, air bags or several hundreds of pounds of metal keeping them safe. The Canada Safety Council wants to raise awareness that vulnerable road users make up a disproportionate amount of traffic collisions and deaths, most of which are entirely avoidable. In 2011, the most recent year where data is available, vulner-
able road users accounted for more than one-quarter of traffic fatalities, according to Transport Canada. Pedestrians accounted for about 16 per cent (%) of that number, while the other 11% was split between bicyclists (2.6%) and motorcyclists (8.4%). Responsibility lies with both the vulnerable road user and the motorist in ensuring their mutual safety. Vulnerable road users should be aware of their surroundings at

all times, taking extra care to follow the rules of the road. Pedestrians should cross the road only at designated crosswalks and intersections only when the way is clear. Breakdowns of incident causes are only available between 2004 and 2008, but the statistics show that more than 60% of fatal traffic crashes involving pedestrians happened while they were crossing a road. Of these deaths, only 10% happened when the pedestrian had
the right-of-way to cross at an intersection. A disproportionately high number of collisions among cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists alike happened due to a lack of visibility or at night. Wearing bright colours, retro-reflective bands and lighting, if necessary, could help make sure they see and is seen. Responsibility also falls on drivers and their reactions. One Continued on 4
