I support Senator Glynn's calls regarding road safety in so far as it applies to other road users such as pedestrians and joggers. Those who travel on rural roads at night know well the grave dangers involved. We have all had near misses involving pedestrians. Those dangers need to be highlighted and people must be encouraged to wear clothing that will make them conspicuous to other road users. Senator Glynn often raises this issue on the Order of Business. Can it be broadened into a main debate because of all the horrific accidents involving pedestrians? By having such a debate, a list of suggestions could be drawn up to be put forward for wider public debate.
