Some Consolation

I have no guarantee
that I will not be run over
by a motor vehicle,
be this a bus,  lorry or Rolls Royce
BUT
if I religiously observe the highway code,
cross roads with extreme caution
and avoid traffic at night,
I may rest reasonably well assured
that if I do get run over, 
it won't be my fault.
