Reference: Eph-C-TRAM-1910-01

Description: Shows tram carriage, a gentleman, a lady & baby in three scenes showing the wrong way, the result, and the right way to alight. The Evening Post, Volume for 10 July 1915, Page 9 reports: "Up to the present the Wellington tramway system has been wonderfully free from serious accidents," said Mr. M'Gillivray, "and the members of the tramway staff have on many occasions been congratulated on that account ...". Mr. M'Gillivray then pointed out that 65 per cent of the total number of accidents reported were attributable to people alighting from moving cars. "Many of them," he added, "are of a trivial nature, it is true; some one stepping off and falling, and escaping with a shaking. But the fact must not be lost sight of that the margin between a slight and a bad accident is so small that a risk is always present. People must not 'risk' stepping off a moving car. Some people have had fatal accidents in this city through that cause. The public should remember that, and wait until the car stops dead. Another frequent source of accident is the person who steps off the wrong way. People must remember to 'always alight with your face towards the motorman's end of the car.' There is an excuse for everything except a person alighting from a car the wrong way. Will ladies please remember in alighting to always face the front of the car? "Pedestrians, careless, thoughtless, heedless of their own safety, and the anxiety they cause others, are a source of great trouble. How often have I seen them in Cuba-street on a Saturday night, just too reckless to move from the side of the track. I have seen them actually bend their knees to allow the running-board of a car to pass; and all the time running the risk of being knocked down or crippled for life. My advice is: 'Show more sense. Do not cultivate that familiarity which breeds contempt for a tram-car. Remember, when it is travelling it is a ten-ton projectile ; when it hits you you might just as well be in the Dardanelles." (This was written at the time New Zealand troops were engaged in the Gallipoli Campaign) Quantity: 1 colour photo-mechanical print(s). Physical Description: Photolithograph, 500 x 320 mm.
