We were shown that movie in driver's ed in high school in about 1964. I'm still traumatized by it. It comes to mind almost every time I travel the PA or Ohio Turnpikes. I still remember the sound od several hundred young students' feet hitting the auditorium floor in unison, reflexively hitting the brake pedal in response to a scene on the screen. I was already a bit traumatized anyway. Seems Dad thought I'd be a more carefull driver if he told me about hearing a man beg the state cops to shoot him as he burned to death in his crumpled truck. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I never could watch that one. I had heard about it and our driver's ed teacher let anyone who wanted to to op out on seeing it. I saw the other two, Wheels of Tragedy and Mechanized Death when I was a senior in high school in 1969. And I had all three of the in film library where I worked at the phone company, I cleaned and spliced it but still couldn't bring myself to watch it.

The crash scenes in them are real. It is the story leading up to them that is done by actors.

I don't remember if I have seen that one or not. The title sounds familiar, but being a former EMT and Firefighter and working for the past 26 years as a police officer, I don't think that there is much on a TV or Movie Screen that would upset me. I have lots of stories to tell, but you don't want to hear them. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
