As an older driver I am increasingly concerned about those pedestrians who wear dark or non reflective clothing on these Winter evenings, this is more obvious in York Outer my York Outer village where the roads are less well lit. Sometimes accompanied by small children or dogs they can be very difficult to see, as are the rogue cyclists with either no or totally inadequate lights. Better publicity by Police and local Councils advocating brighter clothing etc might help.
