1960's film, red asphalt, AH one of the crash cars

[AUSMHLY]

I ran across this 1960's driving safety film.
Be warned, this film does show graphic detail of the accidents.

In the film at time line 425 is what appears to be a "hot little red convertable" Austin Healey.

Drive carefull, and remember what James Dean said in one of his short safety films, take it easy driving, the life you might save might be mine.

Man, I remember watching these back in the early 60's as approached driving age. The State of Ohio films were infamous back then !

Brings back memories for me, too. The one we had to watch was "Death on the Highway" which I remember mostly because it had footage of James Dean's 'Lil' Bastard" after the fatal crash. I've looked for videos of it online, but have never found one.

I remember James Dean stating in a interview that acting was not his true passion, His real life interest and passion was racing and sports cars! Acting was only a means to get the money to achive his passion for racing and buying the cars he wanted!
