Bicycle Rider
Deplores Lack
IOfDriving Care

Former keeper of the Key West
Lighthouse, Is year old E. p.
johnson of 615 Frances Street,
asked today that all motorists,
Key Westers and out-of-towrers,
be more careful In opening car
doors on the streets. He exhibited
a badly lacerated and still swollen
finger as a sample Of what lack
of caution by drivers can do.
~ just wanted to warn car
drivers to look before they open
car doors in a hurry so as to pre-
vent other accidents and more
serious injury to passersby, pedes-
TRANS, bike riders or other drivers.
That's my AIM" the shitehaired
man said in telling what happened
to him.
II was riding along Angela
Street and was about to pass an
ont.of-town car parked along the
curb when the man showed his
door open with such force and
quickness that / didn't have time
to get out of the way. | was
knocked off my bicycle. The blow
injured my finger pretty painfully.
If there had been a car behind
me, ! might have been killed. "
Johnson said he didn't wrangle
with the driver at all and didn't
bother to take the license number
or report the accident. II didn't
say anything mean. I just said
people ought to look out before
they shove open doors of cars.
And that's what / want the public
TO be warned about. Folks ought
not to open ear doors on the street
side without watching"
The injury to Johnson occurred
q week ago Saturday. and today,
his finger Is healing but still
swollen to twice normal size.
