I liked this video! It's old, but it still gets the point across, and without showing scary serious accidents that could traumatize people with sensitive psyches. Instead, it uses non-serious accidents or near accidents to get it's point across. It also can make one wonder how many times s/he has contributed to causing an accident without even knowing it, by showing succinctly how one can be "involved" in an accident. This video also shows that everything in our universe works interdependently. Seldom, if ever, is one factor (or person) the sole cause of any given problem (in this case, car accidents).
Excellent film and boy do I remember that world. In 1981 I thought our culture was at an all-time low because I was comparing it to the early sixties. But compared to the "urban" ghetto culture of the 21st century, 1981 was Shangri La. Wish I had appreciated it while I was living through it!!!
@@pennwoman Except under Reagan/Bush 41, the Rich got Richer, the Poor got Poorer, the Crime Soared, and the National Debt skyrocketed. We also had the AIDS Pandemic and Crack. Those last two problems were Not any President's fault, but the Inadequate response WAS.
I saw a 1969 version of this in my Drivers' Ed class, and it was much more intense in its message. A man is distracted by a pretty girl in another car and crashes. A woman does not secure her youngest of 3 children with a seatbelt, which causes the child to hit her head when the woman stops short. If someone has that version, please post it. Thanks.
@@redtra236 YES. And, the vast majority of cars wouldn't have three point shoulder harnesses for Years. Some didn't even have collapsible steering columns. Front Airbags?? (let alone the side curtain)... FuhGETaboutit! Other than Saabs and Volvos, front and rear crush zones were similarly nonexistent. You Know...Deaths/miles driven have actually been decreasing-ever since 1920 (when private cars were becoming commonplace.) I'm at a Loss as to why that was the case so far back. I can only surmise that it was due to traffic lights replacing stop signs, and some of the early Interstates having a center divide. Or, perhaps, it was a Mathematical Paradox that, as cars got Faster, it took less time to log more miles? A Ford Model T probably went about 25 mph most of the time, whereas the Late Twenties/Early Thirties Model A would have done Sixty, like our Modern Cars. And, in those days, in an Intersection crash, you'd be just as Dead at the lower speed (perhaps with a prettier Corpse.) The REAL improvements, however, came in the Seventies, and beyond, as folks began to comply with wearing their seatbelt, and the other, above improvements were implemented. In the 1970s Muscle car Age, yearly Deaths were often over Fifty Thousand, despite our population being about one third less. These days; it's typically Thirty Thousand/year, although ONE is Too Many.
My dad used too wear his seatbelt like that. He never got a ticket I'm not sure how, because back then Cops were only patrolling in cars. They only drove cars, and his Windows weren't tinted. if I tried that I would for sure get pulled over. In the early 80's, seatbelts wasn't required to wear. It was an option, then later became mandatory in every State, and Province.
