Transportation

For this assignment, I looked deeper into the problem of transportation that was caused on the home front. There were a couple of different problems taking place with regard to transportation during the war. The first was that German planes were flying thousands of feet above ground, and so it was very difficult to see where people were when carrying out air raids. In an effort to make it even more difficult, there was a blackout law enacted restricting lights in transportation at night. As a result, cars were not permitted to have headlights on unless they were pointed straight down with 3 slits for minimal light. Trains also had the same problem, and they did not know where to stop, which was the biggest problem. In trains and in cars, the rates of accidents at night skyrocketed. This is an extremely difficult solution to solve, because the only solution is exactly what they didn't want: MORE LIGHT.  However, I think that the only way to have improved this problem is to have enacted some kind of curfew in the sense that drivers shouldn't be out later than they can see if it's going to cost them an accident and possibly their life. I know it sounds pathetic, but what else is supposed to happen if their goal is never to have light emmited?
