Driving in America: 1950
by Richard MasonerDisney’s perspective of driving in 1950. Goofy stars as a Jekyll and Hyde character, Mr. Walker/Mr. Wheeler. When he’s a pedestrian he’s mild-mannered and rational; when he’s a driver he’s mad and bad.
It’s amazing to see that the issues we faced over half a century ago haven’t gotten any better. Video posted by our friend Carlton Reid of QuickRelease.TV.
Nice, you guys must be reading Traffic.
This was hilarious. Thanks for posting! So many good bits in there. And dare I say that motorists aren’t the only Hydes out there…
Don’t get bitter when you’re behind the bars!
I remember this cartoon, they used to show it on the Disney Channel when my kids were young. I often think about it when we write about road rage these days, how it’s nothing new. I don’t know what it is about getting behind the wheel of a car that has always had this effect on people.
I used that cartoon when I taught traffic school in So.Cal. I thought it was hokey but in retrospect, it is right on!
