One Old Driver's Ed Movie

How far back do you think those drivers ed movies go? 1960's? 1950's?

Here's one I found produced back in 1935. Guess what? Maybe Great Grandpa didn't have to deal with as much traffic as we have now, but he had to deal with many of the issues we face today.

Yep, folks in "olden times" still took turns and curves too fast. They drove when drowsy. They even experienced road rage.

I especially enjoyed this film's explanation of momentum and centrifugal force. Taking curves too fast seems to be a problem that we just can't make go away. Maybe Electronic Stability Control will save us when it finally becomes standard in 2012.

Enjoy.
