Tomorrow's Drivers (1954) Sponsor: General Motors Corporation, Chevrolet Division Producer: Handy (Jam) Organization
This film portrays a unique driver's education program in the Phoenix, Arizona schools, where, it seems, driver's ed is considered to be the most important subject of all. Driver's ed starts in kindergarten, where the usual kiddie games are altered to teach traffic safety rules. In first grade, the kids play with toy cars, following a dizzying array of rules, and later in elementary school they are each assigned their own personal pedal car, which they drive on miniature streets with miniature traffic signs and real traffic. Violators of rules are given tickets by kid traffic cops, and repeating offenders get their licenses suspeded. All this is supposed to create more responsible teen drivers when the kids finally reach 16. I guess it doesn't work too well, because they also show us in detail an "attitude class" juvenile traffic offenders must attend! This is a curious film. One wonders how long this program actually lasted. The film is narrated by James Stewart. Part 2 of 2
