@@redzebrave I remember pulling over to help somebody broken down in a travel lane with no shoulder. I keep some cones in my trunk, so I put them back in a line 200ft back, like the DOT says. I'm glad I did, because a driver on his phone didn't see the one 200' back, and didn't see the one 100' back until he was about to hit it. Those hundred feet bought him an extra second to slow down and change lanes. That's one reason it's so annoying that commercial truck drivers will just dump their triangles in a sloppy heap next to their bumper and call it a day

It is sooooo refreshing to see one of these old Disney cartoons on UA-cam and the comment section is actually accessible. Fucking hate UA-cam Kids and it's "no comments" rules...
This cartoon was aimed at adults rather than children when it came out to theatres in 1965 before the main feature. It's audiences were adult drivers rather than children. Still, in spite of that, it later was featured on an episode of NBC's "Wonderful World of Disney", and was shown in the 1980's on the Disney Channel aimed at children.
Usually the UA-cam kids thing shows up on Warner cartoons like Bugs Bunny,which is ironic,because those cartoons were made for adults,not kids.Chuck Jones even said so.They were intelligent cartoons with many jokes kids won't get.All cartoons aren't for children.

Re. Mr. T: One thing to remember is that this cartoon came out in 1965, when freeways were a pretty new concept to a lot of people. There were still a lot of people still alive (including Disney's animators) who remembered when automobiles themselves were the leading edge of technology.
Although I am a 2003, being a new driver I found this video very useful, but more for motorways than for freeways in reality. I have often driven freeways but in Italy they are less crowded than the motorways and the case discussed here, it seems to me that it fits more with the motorways, although here the vehicles are the same less for obvious historical reasons

One of the reasons people (especially when the film was made) stopped on freeway ramps thus causing accidents was due to the use of "yield" signs on freeway ramps. This implied that the merging driver had to give up right-of-way, even if it meant coming to a complete stop. A better form of signage was to replace "yield" signs with "merge" signs.

Today, Neglectorus Maximus will most likely be fiddling around with his touchscreen, either trying to open the traffic or weather app, or probably searching for a track on Apple Music.

Even though Goofy is a DOG, somehow SJWs and "teachers" would cry that this cartoon is "racist" and it would be banned. "Schools" these days are just indoctrination camps for SJWs and people who think there are 99 genders.
My driver’s ed instructor in the early 2000s actually used this in our class. He popped this into a VHS player… and left the classroom to go to his car in the parking lot to take a nap. Great memories.
Goofy has retired in 1965 Pinto Covig best known as Goofy's voice passed the next year the same year that Disney passed but Goofy came out of retirement in 83' Mickey's Christmas Carol it's Goofy's first cartoon appearance in 18 years he plays Scrooge's partner Jacob Marley Hal Smith took over as Goofy's voice and it sounds like Pinto Covig the original Goofy's voice and now Bill Farmer has voiced Goofy more than 30 years as the Goofy legacy continues.
My dad was an astronaut and flew every day for 50 years. Used to fly me to school in an Apollo capsule. Never used the freeway once. Never got into an accident.
I moved to the Detroit metro area recently to be nearer a grandkid, as I was sick to death of I-96 and the never-ending construction on it. I have been avoiding freeways like the plague since the move.
My father is a long time truck driver. I am glad to have seen this as most to all of this help put into perspective the importance of driving and his life lessons.
Now THAT'S a concept that should be explored; motorists owning a portion of the stuperhighways in their state. That way, only THEY (and vehicle fleet owners) will pay taxes on these "Hitler strips"!!
I knew a woman scared of the freeway, scared of driving in snow..not just a little scared, but frozen in fear. I felt so sorry for her, it controlled her whole life. As someone who drove a lot, from a young age, I drove from eastern USA to California towing a car/ trailer as young girl, a teenager. So I didn't understand her fear at all. But I did feel sorry for her.
"When the first settlers landed in America, it was a vast unexplored wilderness." Aside from the people who had been living there since before the ancient Egyptians. Only about 7 million of them.
@CraigFThompson Only the most historically illiterate would ever make such an asinine comment. They should have stayed in asia then as well. They should have stopped killing each other for land and resources like every other human group. Take it further still. You should have never left the hospital you were born in to take up space elsewhere where you also weren't invited by some other group that just replaced some other group right before. (Lol)
The statement that freeways are 2.5 times safer than other roads and streets is a palpable lie, based on miles-per-accident. It fails to take into account the different natures and purposes of driving on different types of roads.
The very concept of the stuperhighway itself is also a palpable lie; the automotive industry and energy corporations lobbied congress for changes to the original designs imported by Eisenhower from NAZI GERMANY....
@@michaelbruvolt4221 The observations of the general public are proof enough; although there are far fewer pedestrian-involved incidents on the stuperhighways, there's a corresponding increase in the number of vehicular collisions. Plus, there are examples of stuperhighways being unsafe regardless of whether or not a vehicle travels on them; the most stupidly moronic metropolis in the nation, Los Angeles, built several miles of these "Hitler strips" throughout the southland, seemingly not knowing or even caring about seismic impacts to elevated roadway structures (as especially compared to subways, which tolerate earthquakes a helluva lot BETTER than elevated stuperhighways)....
@@CraigFThompson seems like you have some issues Craig. You still didn't provide me with a source for your bias other than your own bigoted opinion against freeways. I love superhighways and it's one of the great things about living in America. I can get in a car and drive 70mph without having to worry about lights and look at the scenery of this beautiful country we live in. I don't have any problem with people taking mass transit if they like it. I don't. But what I do see is people on the Left trying to control other people on how they get around. Other than an Issue in the sexual area, the Left loves to control people. I've never met you. But just the fact that you keep referring to freeways as "Hitler's strips" is all I need to know about your political ideology.
@@michaelbruvolt4221 I suppose you haven’t seen the ruin and damage left on the wake of these stuperhighways, have you?! Look at what was once a true, real city--Los Angeles--which once possessed two of the most pervasive and efficient rail-based passenger transport systems, the Pacific Electric Railroad with their red cars, and the Los Angeles Railway yellow cars. Had they still been with us TODAY, there’d be NO NEED for such a great loss of valuable real estate in an effort to provide for machines which inherently consume space, pollute our environment, and dig deep into our bank accounts, often leaving little to nothing for other, more important expenditures. You say you “have a problem with people trying to control other people on how they get around.”, yet that’s exactly what the automotive industry and energy corporations have been doing for decades, by lobbying to eliminate passenger rail in favor of fuel-intensive travel modes such as the automobile (car, BUS, and TRUCK) and the airplane…. Which prove beyond ANY doubt, reasonable or otherwise, that the United States is actually working to PREVENT large amounts of people from moving efficiently between two points…. I DID mention China, India, and Russia already; what are THEY doing correctly that this name AIN’T?!
this was cool thank you i am still trying to get my driver license i am 31 i do get nervous when i drive i have a permit to drive i know how to drive this has helped me a lil bit thank you i never drove high but this will help me.
Paul Frees had a great voice for narration. 2020's era drivers include: Timidicus Covidicus: The person who wears a face mask while driving alone. Obsessevis Trumpiticus: The driver who has a giant, distracting flag attached to the back of their vehicle. Vapicus Ultimus: The driver who vapes and puffs out smoke like a steam engine. Loudicus Bassicus: The driver who has the music so loud that the car and everyone around him vibrates. Cellphonicus Ultimus: The driver (especially women drivers) who can't put down the phone while driving.
You're wrong about cell phones used mostly by women. I drive trucks coast to coast and upwards of 75% of ALL drivers are working their phones and/or tablets while driving- including truckers too!
@@truegreen7595 Bah! It just related truth, therefore it's NOT sexism. You have a problem with discerning fact from a hyper phobia about things in life.
Where I live (near Portland Oregon) many on ramps have traffic lights that are only used at rush hour. They give you a lot less than two football fields to accelerate!
7:13 "Freeway pros will cooperate by dropping back a bit, for they know that courtesy is a practical rule here." lol not in this day and age it ain't! Someone will always fill the gap.
Paul Frees narration is absolutely 💯 fantastic! The narrator at Great Monents with Mr Lincoln, Adventure through Inner Space and the Haunted Mansion. His iconic, signature voice is found in many iterations to include Meister Berger, Berger Meister in Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
Don’t forget no airbags, no antilock brakes, no traction control, probably no collapsible steering column either. Oh hell... ...no blind spot sensors, lane assist, auto braking. Could really use a third brake light back then too, as tail lights were pretty dim back then.
AND you weren't working a full day shift just to afford gas for your car. Every couple of weeks, I work a full day and earn NOTHING due to Bidenflation and gas prices.
The narrator is Paul Frees,an actor who's voice appears in many old Sci fi movies.He was also on screen in The Thing,War of the World's.He also did cartoon voices.This must be a representation of Florida drivers. I have been there and they drive like maniacs.
The funny thing about this cartoon is that in the 60+ years since it was made, all its information is still true to life in the States! The speed limit usually 55 or 60 in a lot of places, and all the tips for interacting with Freeways still work the same nowadays! I guess now there’s Death, Taxes, and Freeways, as inevitability’s in the united states LOL
Not just time, but stupidity as well. If southern California were truly SMART, the Pacific Electric Red Cars, and the Los Angeles Railway Yellow Cars would still be serving the vast majority of our public transportation needs to this very day.... But somehow, someone fell in love with Hitler's autobahn....
The sheer amount of hazards they highlight in this would almost make one think that motorways were dangerous or a bad idea to have hundreds of 1 ton death machines moving at high speeds with humans at the wheel
All of which is why an extensive and expansive RAIL-BASED PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEM is so sorely needed in our cities, ESPECIALLY those in southern California!
And even 2-in-1 passenger/commuter stations in small towns such as Paducah and Murray to be operated by Amtrak in case certain executives in the greater metropolitan Louisville area wish it to be so.
My biggest pet peeve is those that get in the far left lane and drive 10 below the speed limit as they pass signs (in Texas) that clearly state, “LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY!” And yet they aren’t passing anyone.
My experience: It is better, to ride by train, if possible. Specially for commuting you‘ve more time for yourself and less stress, than riding your car. Trains are the most efficient and safest transport- system. Specially in ‚urban areas‘ trains are better, than cars. I use my car primarily for ‚rural trips‘ and in dense- infrastructure areas or transporting bulky things.
Doesn't really apply to America, which is majorly rural land. And the cities that do sport large networks of it often fail at making them secure. It's really hard to find that sweet middle spot of public transportation nowadays. No social credit left.
Splendid yet super duper good job fellows!! This and Goofy’s Freeway Troubles(1965, the last two films featuring Pinto Colvig as Goofy) were re-released two years later in 1967 as cartoon specials. Also Pinto Colvig’s voice look like it started to age.
Car Technology aside, I'm under the impression that drivers (as a whole) are a little more attentive/reactive than the yesteryear of 1965. In part, because of the necessity that comes from increased traffic volume.
Survival, but not thriving. 7 lanes later we're only doing worse, induced demand and forced commutes and lack of creativity when planning your trips. Plus with the taxes levied on gas and other things ostensibly for the freeway system, you feel encouraged to milk it and end up forgetting every time that this does you no good anymore.
I was probably about 7 the first time I saw this cartoon, and though some things have changed in the last 35 years, I still use it's guidance to be safe on the road. 'Fidgitus' are my least favorite drivers. I call them 'Weavers' because their constantly changing lanes into spaces barely large enough for them without signaling. Believe it or not, I think I encountered a 'Neglectorus' the other day. I think they may have been more than half asleep at the wheel. they were weaving back and forth more than the whole width of the lane and traveling at 25 miles an hour on a curving on-ramp between a 40mph road and a 65mph highway.
America was not actually a vast unexplored wilderness it was already inhabited by over 500 different indigenous tribal groups which in some very notable cases actually helped our settler explorers like Louis Joliet to map out the country, and this entite country used to be entirely connected by railways as we expanded from the east to the west.
Very similar to what I would offer for this type of video. I hope no one caught that sarcasm. Watch this video and then go out here on some of the local freeways out here in L.A. So applicable. Alas, everyone out here is an actor, so you have that. And they all have the fast cars, of course. Many near misses, thankfully God is with me.
Our freeways and roads are now filled with these 3 types of drivers everywhere you go. And now it's much worse thanks to cell phones, drive thru fast food, drive thru coffee shops, and faster cars.
Released in 1964 as a short subject with That Darn Cat. 16mm prints were sold to libraries and available for rental. We showed it in drivers ed class in 1969.
I've often wondered what would happen if 2 of them collided.... "Don't you know how to travel?" "I need to be compensated at $3000 per hour, it says so right on this sticky note I wrote it on." "Send your invoice to my trust."
@@postal_the_clown I once saw a video where a sovcit was pulled over by a cosplay stolen Valor fake police officer. It was like seeing two AI bots argue angrily into stalemate
They should stop laughing and increase their distance from the car ahead. Rear end collisions are the most frequent type of collision and are caused by following too closely.
I remember watching this in drivers ed! There's also one with "Mr. Walker" and "Mr. Wheeler" which is hilarious and still very true. He's a nice guy who whistles while he walks and smells the roses saying hello to everyone but when he gets behind the wheel he's a speed maniac yelling at everyone! I'm commenting in 2024, ten years after original post. So cool.

Even though Goofy is a DOG, somehow SJWs and "teachers" would cry that this cartoon is "racist" and it would be banned. "Schools" these days are just indoctrination camps for SJWs and people who think there are 99 genders.
My driver’s ed instructor in the early 2000s actually used this in our class. He popped this into a VHS player… and left the classroom to go to his car in the parking lot to take a nap. Great memories.
Goofy has retired in 1965 Pinto Covig best known as Goofy's voice passed the next year the same year that Disney passed but Goofy came out of retirement in 83' Mickey's Christmas Carol it's Goofy's first cartoon appearance in 18 years he plays Scrooge's partner Jacob Marley Hal Smith took over as Goofy's voice and it sounds like Pinto Covig the original Goofy's voice and now Bill Farmer has voiced Goofy more than 30 years as the Goofy legacy continues.
My dad drove every day for over 50 years. Didn't use the freeway once. Never got into an accident.
Okay and?
The only accidents I've ever been in is OFF the freeway. Never been in one on the freeway.
My conclusion: freeways are safer
My dad was an astronaut and flew every day for 50 years. Used to fly me to school in an Apollo capsule. Never used the freeway once. Never got into an accident.
I moved to the Detroit metro area recently to be nearer a grandkid, as I was sick to death of I-96 and the never-ending construction on it. I have been avoiding freeways like the plague since the move.
I loved these cartoons
My father is a long time truck driver. I am glad to have seen this as most to all of this help put into perspective the importance of driving and his life lessons.

@@lawnmowermanTX all because no one cares to put on a safety belt
6:22 Mr. F: Gone dang people who can't own a freeway. (Impatiently) Come on, come on, get going.
Now THAT'S a concept that should be explored; motorists owning a portion of the stuperhighways in their state. That way, only THEY (and vehicle fleet owners) will pay taxes on these "Hitler strips"!!
When freeways were new, everyone drove like they do on roads. Now, everyone drives like they’re on freeways
If you're that scared of driving on the freeway, you're not ready for the freeway.
I knew a woman scared of the freeway, scared of driving in snow..not just a little scared, but frozen in fear. I felt so sorry for her, it controlled her whole life. As someone who drove a lot, from a young age, I drove from eastern USA to California towing a car/ trailer as young girl, a teenager. So I didn't understand her fear at all. But I did feel sorry for her.
Depending on my mood, I'm either the care-free driver or the angry driver.
"When the first settlers landed in America, it was a vast unexplored wilderness."
Aside from the people who had been living there since before the ancient Egyptians. Only about 7 million of them.
Same people that developed a huge system of roads.
Definitely cringe, but this is a very old cartoon. The rest of it aged remarkably well.
Unexplored wilderness to those who are coming over. Which is true. Based.
@@robertortiz-wilson1588 You mean: to those who should've JUST STAYED HOME.
@CraigFThompson Only the most historically illiterate would ever make such an asinine comment. They should have stayed in asia then as well. They should have stopped killing each other for land and resources like every other human group. Take it further still. You should have never left the hospital you were born in to take up space elsewhere where you also weren't invited by some other group that just replaced some other group right before.
(Lol)
RIP Pinto Colvig. Alongside Freeway Troubles, you perfectly ended your career as THE voice of Goofy with a bang in that film.
More or less.
Note: The Approaching Driver should Know that cars are merging and gtf over.
Now days we have Foultemperus Roadrageius Instantaneous!
The statement that freeways are 2.5 times safer than other roads and streets is a palpable lie, based on miles-per-accident. It fails to take into account the different natures and purposes of driving on different types of roads.
The very concept of the stuperhighway itself is also a palpable lie; the automotive industry and energy corporations lobbied congress for changes to the original designs imported by Eisenhower from NAZI GERMANY....
Who says it's a lie? Maybe your stat is. What is your source that it is not accurate?
@@michaelbruvolt4221 The observations of the general public are proof enough; although there are far fewer pedestrian-involved incidents on the stuperhighways, there's a corresponding increase in the number of vehicular collisions.
Plus, there are examples of stuperhighways being unsafe regardless of whether or not a vehicle travels on them; the most stupidly moronic metropolis in the nation, Los Angeles, built several miles of these "Hitler strips" throughout the southland, seemingly not knowing or even caring about seismic impacts to elevated roadway structures (as especially compared to subways, which tolerate earthquakes a helluva lot BETTER than elevated stuperhighways)....
@@CraigFThompson seems like you have some issues Craig. You still didn't provide me with a source for your bias other than your own bigoted opinion against freeways.
I love superhighways and it's one of the great things about living in America. I can get in a car and drive 70mph without having to worry about lights and look at the scenery of this beautiful country we live in.
I don't have any problem with people taking mass transit if they like it. I don't. But what I do see is people on the Left trying to control other people on how they get around.
Other than an Issue in the sexual area, the Left loves to control people.
I've never met you. But just the fact that you keep referring to freeways as "Hitler's strips" is all I need to know about your political ideology.
@@michaelbruvolt4221 I suppose you haven’t seen the ruin and damage left on the wake of these stuperhighways, have you?! Look at what was once a true, real city--Los Angeles--which once possessed two of the most pervasive and efficient rail-based passenger transport systems, the Pacific Electric Railroad with their red cars, and the Los Angeles Railway yellow cars. Had they still been with us TODAY, there’d be NO NEED for such a great loss of valuable real estate in an effort to provide for machines which inherently consume space, pollute our environment, and dig deep into our bank accounts, often leaving little to nothing for other, more important expenditures.
You say you “have a problem with people trying to control other people on how they get around.”, yet that’s exactly what the automotive industry and energy corporations have been doing for decades, by lobbying to eliminate passenger rail in favor of fuel-intensive travel modes such as the automobile (car, BUS, and TRUCK) and the airplane….
Which prove beyond ANY doubt, reasonable or otherwise, that the United States is actually working to PREVENT large amounts of people from moving efficiently between two points….
I DID mention China, India, and Russia already; what are THEY doing correctly that this name AIN’T?!
The terms used in this this and in freeway troubles are the mock latin terms that were used in the roadrunner cartoons
A friend of mine once termed them 'dinosaurious'.
*Latin, with a CAPITAL "L"....
this was cool thank you i am still trying to get my driver license i am 31 i do get nervous when i drive i have a permit to drive i know how to drive this has helped me a lil bit thank you i never drove high but this will help me.
Hang in there. You'll make it!
They really wanted to get their money's worth out of those pile up sequences didn't they?
I bet they had a blast.
Paul Frees had a great voice for narration.
2020's era drivers include:
Timidicus Covidicus: The person who wears a face mask while driving alone.
Obsessevis Trumpiticus: The driver who has a giant, distracting flag attached to the back of their vehicle.
Vapicus Ultimus: The driver who vapes and puffs out smoke like a steam engine.
Loudicus Bassicus: The driver who has the music so loud that the car and everyone around him vibrates.
Cellphonicus Ultimus: The driver (especially women drivers) who can't put down the phone while driving.
You're wrong about cell phones used mostly by women. I drive trucks coast to coast and upwards of 75% of ALL drivers are working their phones and/or tablets while driving- including truckers too!
Yeah this was very slightly funny until you took a hard right into sexism
@@truegreen7595 Bah!
It just related truth, therefore it's NOT sexism. You have a problem with discerning fact from a hyper phobia about things in life.
@@THE-HammerMan it's not even truth though, I've seen just as many men on their phones while driving as women
@@jonathanlee2099 You're not thinking! Back THEN it was women doing cosmetics, talking with both hands, etc.

@@Jasper_4444 Thanks!
3:18 This would actually work on the Arroyo Seco Parkway in Los Angeles.
There are stop signs at the end of the on ramps. A very outdated design.
Where I live (near Portland Oregon) many on ramps have traffic lights that are only used at rush hour. They give you a lot less than two football fields to accelerate!
@@Sashazur Those are known as "ramp meters" that supposedly regulate the frequency of entry onto the stuperhighway.
I remember watching this years ago for my driver's ed, and we all laughed when he referred to Mr. T

@@bificommander7472 sadly it happens every day, along with the ones 5hat wait until in the traffic lane to speed up to highway speed.
I love Goofy
Pinto Colvig - Goofy
Paul Frees - Narrator
Ah, Paul Frees was/is especially awesome as the Ghost Host of the Haunted Mansion.
I am Timidicus but i do not take the freeway lol..working on my freeway phobia.
When I had drivers lessons, this video was shown to us
7:13 "Freeway pros will cooperate by dropping back a bit, for they know that courtesy is a practical rule here." lol not in this day and age it ain't! Someone will always fill the gap.
I still can drive a scooter, but I do encounter a driver (especially in parking lots & busy streets) who don't know how to drive!😮
Paul Frees narration is absolutely 💯 fantastic! The narrator at Great Monents with Mr Lincoln, Adventure through Inner Space and the Haunted Mansion. His iconic, signature voice is found in many iterations to include Meister Berger, Berger Meister in Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
Yes, indeed-not to mention Boris Badenov in Rocky & Bullwinkle, Fenwick in Dudley Do-Right and more. Superstar.
He was/still is amazing.
And don't forget his voices at Walter Lantz!
No seatbelts. Steering with an inch and a half of slop. No disc brakes. Bias ply tires. 15mpg.
Yep, good times.
Don’t forget no airbags, no antilock brakes, no traction control, probably no collapsible steering column either. Oh hell... ...no blind spot sensors, lane assist, auto braking. Could really use a third brake light back then too, as tail lights were pretty dim back then.

The narrator is Paul Frees,an actor who's voice appears in many old Sci fi movies.He was also on screen in The Thing,War of the World's.He also did cartoon voices.This must be a representation of Florida drivers. I have been there and they drive like maniacs.
crazy how optimistic people were about these highways that would go on to destroy cities and cause region crippling traffic
Right?
@@princessmarlena1359 Yes, right! These STUPERHIGHWAYS literally ruined and destroyed every urban area through which they traversed.
The funny thing about this cartoon is that in the 60+ years since it was made, all its information is still true to life in the States!
The speed limit usually 55 or 60 in a lot of places, and all the tips for interacting with Freeways still work the same nowadays!
I guess now there’s Death, Taxes, and Freeways, as inevitability’s in the united states LOL
Every person in the state of Texas needs this video memorized to get their license back I stg
Mr. T is ME! I wish I'd been shown this cartoon when I was starting to learn how to drive.
I started driving when freeways still looked a bit like what was presented here. Boy , time sure made a mess of it all?🤔
Not just time, but stupidity as well. If southern California were truly SMART, the Pacific Electric Red Cars, and the Los Angeles Railway Yellow Cars would still be serving the vast majority of our public transportation needs to this very day....
But somehow, someone fell in love with Hitler's autobahn....
@@CraigFThompsonI love Autobahns!
BUILD MORE AUTOBAHNS PLEASE!!
The sheer amount of hazards they highlight in this would almost make one think that motorways were dangerous or a bad idea to have hundreds of 1 ton death machines moving at high speeds with humans at the wheel
Motorways are a bad idea even if no vehicles rolled on them, simply because of the great amount of wasted real estate needed for their rights-of-way.
@@CraigFThompson And in places like the US they were used as an excuse to bulldoze large neighbourhoods that usually were home to minorities
As opposed to...what? Hamsters at the wheel?
@@theusher2893 My point of mentioning humans at the wheel is that humans are susceptible to distractions and human error
15:09 But more importantly:
From time to time, you are bound to BE all of these types of drivers.
All of which is why an extensive and expansive RAIL-BASED PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEM is so sorely needed in our cities, ESPECIALLY those in southern California!
Depends on the circumstances of the dilemma in question.
More or less.
And even 2-in-1 passenger/commuter stations in small towns such as Paducah and Murray to be operated by Amtrak in case certain executives in the greater metropolitan Louisville area wish it to be so.
My biggest pet peeve is those that get in the far left lane and drive 10 below the speed limit as they pass signs (in Texas) that clearly state, “LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY!” And yet they aren’t passing anyone.
Lanicus Campus Iritous!!
Surprisingly informative
I hate entrance ramps, I always feel like luck got me in
I miss the innocence and ignorance of the 50s and 60s
15:14 Goofy: Yeah, just make sure you never become one.
My experience: It is better, to ride by train, if possible.
Specially for commuting you‘ve more time for yourself and less stress, than riding your car.
Trains are the most efficient and safest transport- system.
Specially in ‚urban areas‘ trains are better, than cars.
I use my car primarily for ‚rural trips‘ and in dense- infrastructure areas or transporting bulky things.
Doesn't really apply to America, which is majorly rural land. And the cities that do sport large networks of it often fail at making them secure.
It's really hard to find that sweet middle spot of public transportation nowadays. No social credit left.
Splendid yet super duper good job fellows!! This and Goofy’s Freeway Troubles(1965, the last two films featuring Pinto Colvig as Goofy) were re-released two years later in 1967 as cartoon specials. Also Pinto Colvig’s voice look like it started to age.
Dang this is entertaning and informative
Lore of Goofy in Freewayphobia momentum 100
Car Technology aside, I'm under the impression that drivers (as a whole) are a little more attentive/reactive than the yesteryear of 1965. In part, because of the necessity that comes from increased traffic volume.
Probably but it's become 300% less enjoyable.
Survival, but not thriving. 7 lanes later we're only doing worse, induced demand and forced commutes and lack of creativity when planning your trips. Plus with the taxes levied on gas and other things ostensibly for the freeway system, you feel encouraged to milk it and end up forgetting every time that this does you no good anymore.
Accidents have increased almost 1,000% since 1916.
We're also born in an era where cars are normal, not the alien thing that took over the world 3 decades prior.
5:14 Mr. T: (gulps nervously)
It’s intriguing how interested in Latin the American media was in the 50s
This should be required watching.
I had to watch it just this year in Driver's ed.
6:03 the boxcar effect AGAIN?
So the Freewayphobia name comes from here, I only knew it as the third cup selection from Mickey's Speedway USA for the N64.
The lesson I get is don't let Goof's drive on the road.
I imagine Goofy saying he'll do it again after each accident he causes.
I was probably about 7 the first time I saw this cartoon, and though some things have changed in the last 35 years, I still use it's guidance to be safe on the road.
'Fidgitus' are my least favorite drivers. I call them 'Weavers' because their constantly changing lanes into spaces barely large enough for them without signaling.
Believe it or not, I think I encountered a 'Neglectorus' the other day. I think they may have been more than half asleep at the wheel. they were weaving back and forth more than the whole width of the lane and traveling at 25 miles an hour on a curving on-ramp between a 40mph road and a 65mph highway.
The narrator in this cartoon is Paul Frees.
Your Ghost Host!
He later become a voice actor for Walter Lantz/Universal Pictures.
His work with Rankin-Bass was top notch.

14:16 Bad drivers never miss their turns
XD Seems different at 14:43 !!
America was not actually a vast unexplored wilderness it was already inhabited by over 500 different indigenous tribal groups which in some very notable cases actually helped our settler explorers like Louis Joliet to map out the country, and this entite country used to be entirely connected by railways as we expanded from the east to the west.
I remembering watching this in drivers ed
pretty certain we watched this in drivers ed in 1981
I’m pretty sure they did actually show this in drivers ed, about 10 years ago. 😂
Very similar to what I would offer for this type of video. I hope no one caught that sarcasm.
Watch this video and then go out here on some of the local freeways out here in L.A. So applicable. Alas, everyone out here is an actor, so you have that. And they all have the fast cars, of course. Many near misses, thankfully God is with me.
Did the truck driver in DUEL get to watch this?
Yup, as well as Dennis Weaver and Steven Spielberg.
Somethings never change.
Our freeways and roads are now filled with these 3 types of drivers everywhere you go. And now it's much worse thanks to cell phones, drive thru fast food, drive thru coffee shops, and faster cars.
Released in 1964 as a short subject with That Darn Cat. 16mm prints were sold to libraries and available for rental. We showed it in drivers ed class in 1969.
dont forget the sovcit "traveling not driving" type
I've often wondered what would happen if 2 of them collided....
"Don't you know how to travel?" "I need to be compensated at $3000 per hour, it says so right on this sticky note I wrote it on." "Send your invoice to my trust."
@@postal_the_clown I once saw a video where a sovcit was pulled over by a cosplay stolen Valor fake police officer. It was like seeing two AI bots argue angrily into stalemate
@ 11:30 Anyone born after 1980 is laughing.
They should stop laughing and increase their distance from the car ahead. Rear end collisions are the most frequent type of collision and are caused by following too closely.
I remember watching this in drivers ed! There's also one with "Mr. Walker" and "Mr. Wheeler" which is hilarious and still very true. He's a nice guy who whistles while he walks and smells the roses saying hello to everyone but when he gets behind the wheel he's a speed maniac yelling at everyone! I'm commenting in 2024, ten years after original post. So cool.
