I still feel riding in such a way is dangerous.

As for how... umm light further down street since it obviously is a cruise, emergency vehice, pedestrian traffic to name a few possibilities, hell lets toss in a broken down or out of gas vehicle. I do know some from that era only put enough gas in tank to barely make it to next station.
