Once I had to break the news to a kid's family on Christmas Eve and the first thing the mother said was 'But he curt be dead - it's Christmas'. All the way to the hospital, she kept telling me what presents they'd bought for him - he was‘ their only child - and begging me to tell her that I'd made a mis-) take," The ex-oop took a deep breath. "That's why l got out. r) just couldn't take it any more. If I couldn't sleep at night. it wasn't, aheep I counted - it was bodies. The accidents with kids were the} vent. It won such a waste of life. At first, after I left the force, I felt kind of ashamed. as if I'd deserted my buddies, but now i) doesn't worry me. I believe that as long as we've got cars. we'll go on killing people on the roads, so there's nothing Inyone can do about it. And I deep better than I used to." I asked him how many of the accidents he'd investigated could have been avoided. "Most ofthem. That's what really sickens you. The ones caused by mechanical failure or freak accidqnt, like a tree falling on a car in a storm - that sort of thing - are lea: than 1%. It's always directly someone's fault."

The ultimate horror as far as I'm concerned would be killing another woman's child. It would be worse than losing one of my own. I hope I never have to cope with this particular tragedy. My chances are fairly good, I suppose. even though my sight isn't good under poor conditions and my reflexes aren't triggerquick. On the other hand, I'm an experienced, relaxed driver, I don't speed or drink, and I don't lose my temper elsily. But it could still happen. I know a girl in her early twenties who killed an old man one night two years ago; it was dark and he was wearing dark clothes and she didn't see hip until it was too late. She has never recovered from it. She has withdrawn from her family and friends, lives alone in a two-room apartment on a quiet street, never speaks to anyone or goes anywhere except to work. She was training to be a teacher, but now she works as a waitress. She will never drive again. Personally. I think she has made a bad situation worse; instead of there being one victim of this accident, there are two. But the only real way to atone for what she did is to get on with living. This girl has taken the easy way out and resigned from the human race.
