    Lowell, you do know 'going for a ride' in New Jersey is hazardous, in and of itself. This film is nearly 90 years old, and every scenario that can cause a wreck is still practiced today. Speed and inattention to others are still the top reasons for crashes. The views of that time are fascinating, remembering things and places that no longer exist.

    Late in 1938 for the '39 model year, Buick introduced lighted turn signals as an option, which became available on all GM car makes the following year. Yet, it's still a frequent problem that many people feel that it's an option to use them.

    For all the comments saying nothing’s changed: In 1937 when this was filmed, 13.19 people died in crashes for every 10,000 vehicles on the road. In 2021, the rate was down to 1.66. Looked at another way, in 1937 there were 14.68 traffic deaths per hundred million miles driven. In 2021 it was down to 1.5.
    …but nearly all of that is due to safer cars and roads. Drivers haven’t changed! And in the past couple of years the death rate has gone back up a bit due to distracted driving.

      Not merely distracted driving but a plain disregard for rules. At our corner stop sign, over half the cars don't even slow down, let alone stop anymore. People go right through at 20 mph and the visibility isn't all that great due to fences and parked cars! That never happened before 2020, and we've lived here for a long time. Also driving on the highways, people in the far left lane regularly go 15-20 mph above the speed limit. (It's everybody in that lane, not just the one or two racers who go 90+ mph.) Ten years ago this was not the case.

      In my neighborhood I saw the results of a practical joke that appears in a couple movies. The trick is to take all the lug nuts off a wheel of a parked car. In the movies the car goes about 10 feet and the wheel falls off. This one drove for miles until he took the long curve near my apartment. The left front wheel came off and rolled at speed into the other lane, center punching a light pick up truck with a young man and GF going out for a weekend evening. The pickup was totaled. The car that suffered the prank careered on until it hit a tree and partly crumpled the engine block into the cab.
      No one was killed. The young man and his GF were walking around near their wreck. He was thrilled and she was in a slight state of shock. The driver of the car was moaning. Crumpled metal had squeezed his left leg breaking it. He had blood running from his nose.

    Left turn hand signal - hold your arm straight out of the window.

    The narrator claims New Jersey came up with the innovation of the traffic circle. But the traffic circle has clearly met its expiry date given how often traffic IN the circle has to yield to traffic ENTERING the circle, while other states, even Massachusetts, have adopted roundabouts and roundabout rules for their traffic circles to avoid traffic gridlock within the circles.

    As long as drivers know the odds of not getting a ticket for speeding and wreck less driving are in their favor, they'll continue playing those odds. There will have to be huge increase in patrol officers issuing tickets and people getting their license suspended or revoked to have any real impact.

    Like a few of the comments allude to, it's hard to believe some of these scenes were actually staged. I suppose Ringling brothers must have laid off all their Daredevil actors and they all applied for work at the Transportation Board. This was more exciting to watch than the latest release from the "Fast & Furious" franchise.

    Not to downplay the seriousness of this topic, these highway safety videos never cite how many more cars are on the road. They claim how many more fatalities over the previous (let's say) 20 years, but not how many more cars there are in the same period. Or how many more trips per day.
    Also, they downplayed making cars safer. 30 years after this movie was made, seat belts were still optional equipment, if they were offered at all. Shoulder straps were still not provided.
    I got a new car last year and it is loaded with safety features that have helped me out where an accident might have occurred.
    But there will always be jerks and road ragers. The safest car can't prevent them from ruining your day.

    Have they legalized marijuana instead of alcohol, they have Slowpoke drivers everywhere that were simply hungry and wanted to get something to eat versus drunken Brave Daredevils. It would have been interesting to do a comparison one state everybody's drinking another state everybody smoking weed and at the end of the let's see which state had more car accidents. I guarantee you the state that legalized alcohol would have twice as many and more that would be fatalities. A stoned driver is a safer driver than a drunk driver. But the cat's out of the bag they legalized alcohol and they can't put it back in the bag.

  • @novaseline4u

    Cars have changed plenty, but the drivers??? Not so much, really. More people survive now since the cars are built better and safer, with better brakes, tires, and handling, bodies with crumple zones, and passenger restraint systems. Not to mention turn signals.
