Armlets Give You Safety: Flashing torches in the street, it was emphasised yesterday

Armlets Give You Safety: Flashing torches in the street, it was emphasised yesterday, is banned under black out regulations.
Many pedestrians are wearing white armlets which can be picked out in the dark.
For the same purpose, the Mens Wear Council suggests the men wear lighter clothes.
The wearing of armlets has arisen from the new motoring regulation under which the edges of running boards and bumpers or wing tips must be painted white.
One woman who tried the white arm-band experiment last night told the Daily Mirror: " People stared at me through the dark, so I knew at once that I could be seen and that the experiment was successful. When I crossed the road at pedestrian crossings oncoming cars pulled up at once. " The night before, when I wasn t wearing the bands, I had to jump out of the way every time I crossed the road."
