@@stephenwaller7461 Yes and a nicer world too on the whole. But one thing that is better today is car safety and reliability. Those cars were lovely to look at but were always breaking down and overheating on long summer journeys, and as for safety and protection in an accident - best not even think about it! 😲

@stephenwaller7461 3 года назад

@@Iceni007 I agree in part with respect to the safety element but dont you think it made things a bit more interesting where you could actually work on your car , diagnose a problem and then actually fix it yourself without the need of a super computer and a thieving dealership.

@AlfieGoodrich 3 года назад

The Thanet Way, in Kent near where I grew up, was like this. Notorious for bad accidents throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s. They finally changed it from three lanes with no double line but it took a bunch of RTC deaths there to force the change.

A big reminder of how small cars used to be, even family ones. I was also amused how 4 grown adult could fit in a tiny Morris Minor at 0:35, the car probably more than doubled its weight with passengers alone.

@oddities-whatnot 4 года назад

Kids in the back, no seat belts. Astonishing it was ever allowed, and nobody thought of the dangers in the event of an accident.

@sim_1 3 года назад

The idea back then was that you was less likely to get hurt if you was thrown away from the car, than to be secured to your seat(s). Which makes sense in a way, but was obviously not applicable in production cars that were to be sold to the public. I think SAAB was the first manufacturer to sell seatbelts in their cars, as an option. Two years later they were mandatory. But it wasn’t mandatory that the occupants used them. They just had to be there. Also, the seatbelt would most often just go over your lap.

@chrispop99 2 года назад

@@sim_1 Volvo invented seat belts, and declined to patent them so that other manufacturers would be able to use them.

@michaeltb1358 3 года назад

Driving standards seen on this video are terrible, especially on the 3 lane road where cars seemed to be wandering all over the road. At one point 2 cars were heading for each other, but the film cut before you could see what happened. I wouldn't want to go back to those conditions.

@rossawilson01 Год назад

It wasn’t driving standards, that middle lane was officially for overtaking for either direction of traffic. Mental but legal.

Most cars are in dull colours, the exception being a red Mini and Hillman Imp passing at 0:21. Brighter colours were available by the 1970s. There is a North Western Dennis Loline bus, RDB891 that may give a clue to where the 1960s traffic was filmed, could be anywhere from Nottingham to Manchester, or possibly operating on the Blackpool route.

@Alfie , for me It’s about Appreciating the Quality of this Video made in the 60’s, And the fact that it showed such detail of so many Iconic UK Cars and occupants , mostly extinct now (including the occupants). So I’m guessing that you weren’t around in the 60’s, (no put down intended), virtually zero motorways when this was filmed and video quality was typically B&W, grainy and unstable. Kudos to the person that made this. Growing up in England, I was early teens and dreaming of owning one of these, so long ago. Cheers from San Diego California
