1961 DRIVER'S EDUCATION FILM "MECHANIZED DEATH"







Hi folks -- I am getting interested in the history of Driver's Education and started looking at film that might be shown in a classroom. This film is as gory as it gets. But once viewed, was it really effective? I am not so sure!



1961 -- seat belts only rarely used, safety not yet mandated by the federal government.



Sum up:  we take driving not very seriously.  Too many distractions, not enough respect for speed limits. Nevertheless, the kind of accidents shown in this film will never happen to us. Seriously?



Put away the cell phone and stop texting. Focus on driving!
