- One of a series of driver's ed films made by General Motors known as "We Drivers", this 1962 Jam Handy produced movie was shot near Detroit, Michigan in the community of Cloverdale. This very campy movie features miniature versions of the drivers - the "inner self" that speaks in a "wee little voice" through the miracle of special effects. The film emphasizes defense driving techniques, including not following cars too closely, and allowing a forward and rear safety zone. Never stop on a freeway, never back up, never make a u-turn …

These old movies are so mature and make you wanna be better, more evolved, more ethical. ♥️
Everyone learning to drive in the U S should have to watch this film, as we have way to many drivers who shouldn't be driving a car/truck. Today's drivers are very rude and don't know the rules of the road. Good video.
I've learned more from these vintage driver's ed videos than I did from my actual driving test :/
Ahhh the good old days!!!!!!!
America was good back then.
You got that right! Beautiful new classic cars on the road.
John Azhderian lol
we all know WHY it was better, but nobody dares to say it...
@@fuckaroo3247 look, we found the racist
ABSOLUTELY , Yes!
MST3K would have a ball with this one.
Wonderful video, with beautiful car's and actors.
Ahh, what would we do without the Miniature People?🤔
great film.
Can’t help but find myself making “riffs” while watching this...

Joe's wife looking hot!
She was ok but Agnes was much better looking
Joe's wife almost looks like a young Dr. Joyce Brothers to me.
I can imagine how fun it was to film parts of this reel.
This film was part of GM's decades-long campaign to shield the auto industry from government safety regulation, in the face of the appalling accident toll. It was not until 1966, 70 years after the introduction of the automobile, that the first federal regs were handed down. Incidentally, there is no Cloverdale near Detroit, though many of these films were shot in part at the GM proving grounds at Milford, Michigan.
Eh, this was before there was real, major pushes for that. Automakers made these kinds of films for 'corporate responsibility' reasons and to show off new models along the way.
@@brandonquinto4852 With all due respect, I have to differ. Alfred Sloan himself engineered the blame-the-driver movement beginning in the late 20's and early 30's. The American Highway Users organization was one of his many fronts for this.
@@DMBall I just don't know of anybody that was campaigning for federal intervention in automobile safety pre-Nader. I fully might be wrong though. I drive a corvair so I hope the blame-the-driver philosophy was right.
@@brandonquinto4852 A Congressman from Alabama named Kenneth Roberts began agitating for federal safety regulations in the early 50's.
Joe's wife is a model i guess.
Nice 62 Impala.
@2:20 The wife already trying to pick a fight in front of the kids.
"Well, stop it! You know it makes me nervous!"
Control freak
I had a car that was just like the one at 7:30!
Pontiacs were real cool around that time.
NO SEAT-BELTS ANYWHERE!!!!!
What? Ya don't wanna fly through the windshield?
Well yeah no one used them back then. Some of these people might have been wearing a lap belt though. Back then pretty much no vehicles had shoulder belts and if they had a safety restraint it would be a lap belt.
Only certain European vehicles had shoulder belts, American manufacturers had to be mandated by law into adding them to vehicles. Just as many states now have mandatory seat belt laws.
@@DanDrolett I know. I been there done that in my senior year of high school.
@@redtra236 You are correct. Very few people wore lap belts and even fewer used the shoulder belts when they were added in 1968. I was that rare teenager that buckled up both the lap and shoulder belts in the hand me down 1970 Buick Electra I had. This was in 1974 and after a week or so behind the wheel it was really a no brainer to buckle up both the lap and shoulder belts. All my friends thought I was nuts for buckling up and I was usually the only one in the car with the belts buckled. One night in 1968 a drunk driver in a Chevrolet suburban crossed the center line and hit me head on. I walked away with only bruises from the belts which was far better than the unbelted drunk driver.
Nice one
13:15 So, did Little Joe and Little Mary become a couple too? Imagine how small their kids would be!
Oh! Oh! Bug slug, bug slug!
>>-------------------------> All those cars were infested with little demons!
Yep, and now they're infested with little computer chips.
The worlds safest driver
Agents of the law.
Luckless pedestrian.
Hallucinating lil' itty-bitty phantoms?
Obvious signs of... reefer madness...
Obviously, these drivers got too close to refrigerated trucks and developed... reefer madness...
If you see refrigerated trucks on the road, be sure to keep a good distance from them so you, too, won't get... reefer madness...
Была ведь нормальная страна. Сейчас все спустили в унитаз.
This was made back in the days before African Americans existed.
Haha
Well, that’s true… the term wasn’t really used until 1988 when it was endorsed by Jesse Jackson, and wasn’t popular until the 2000’s. So yep, they didn’t really exist for another 40 years!!
*yes, I know that’s not what you meant
*pretending like I don’t is more fun than the alternative
Every car on the road was made by GM....
Women shouldn't drive.
...or vote!

+daltex81
