Summary
Pathe synopsis: A car goes along a country road and the driver sits holding a newspaper with both hands and reading it as he races along. Dangerous driving? No, the safety-plans for tomorrow’s motoring when cars can be driven by radar gadgets along the road. In another safety experiment filmed at the Road Research Laboratory at Crowthorne, Berks, is a car-crash. Dummies strapped inside with safety belts are fitted with instruments which record what happens in a 40 mph head-on crash with a wall.
