With the continual debates that will forever emerge on the forums in regards to accidents, fatalities, laws, safety, attitudes, etc, I thought it would be beneficial to all to share these links to a documentary series that was created in the late 90's (98 or 99 i think).
It highlights the inadequacies of people to be able to control what is essentially a killing machine, and at the end of the day we will never be able to stamp out 'crashes' completely. It doesn't pull any punches and has input from a few people (scientists and campaigners) that have been influencial in the evolution of road safety in the last 60 years. I hope it offers some of the people that use the forums some more clues about what is clearly misunderstood by a vast majority on here. Could even be a sticky?!? There is over 2 hours worth of viewing altogether in the 3 episodes, but it is worthwhile IMO This 1st episode briefly explores the history of vehicle safety. The revelation that the big 3 stalled safety improvements for nearly 20 years because paying out lawsuits would be a cheaper option than implementing safety devices in each assembled car, is chilling.
