In 1934, the late Percy Shaw almost crashed while driving home from the pub on a foggy night in Yorkshire, in England.
He was saved when his headlights were reflected in the eyes of a cat and it gave him a brilliant idea. He invented reflective studs for the road and called them cat’s eyes.
Percy's great-niece, Glenda Shaw remembers the eccentric inventor.
