Road safety thoughts number 1: I found this in 'The Motorists Handbook and guide to the motor trade' published 1962 in the UK. There is a section on 'road training year' a safety initiative of the time. A poem (quoted by E Rees-Pryse but I think Burma Shave may have been the original author) reads:

Who died disputing the right of way,
He was right, dead right, as he marched along,
But he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong.
