Clunk Click Every Trip
Clunk Click Every Trip. In honour of the late great Jimmy Saville.OBE "How's about that, then?", "Now then, now then", "Guys and gals", "Goodness gracious", & "as it happens". "Clunk Click Every Trip" was the slogan of a series of British public information films sponsored by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), commencing in January 1971 and starring Jimmy Savile. The slogan was introduced during the previous campaign, fronted by Shaw Taylor and featuring the slogan "Your Seatbelt Is Their Security". However, it was the onomatopoeia used by Taylor to describe the act of closing the door and fastening a seatbelt that proved the most memorable aspect of that campaign, and so it was upgraded to act as the slogan when the films moved into colour. The advertisements highlighted the dangers of being thrown through the windscreen in a traffic collision and reminded drivers that the first thing they should do after closing the door ("Clunk") is fasten their seatbelt ("Click"). These advertisements helped lay the groundwork for compulsory seatbelt use in the front seat of a vehicle, which came into force on 31 January 1983, in the UK, although car manufacturers had been legally obliged to fit front seatbelts in vehicles since 1965. |

Disused fridges Disused fridges. This public information film is concerned with the problem of children being suffocated in old fridges that, tempted by their playful imaginations, they want to climb into. The danger today has been largely eliminated by the introduction of magnetic seals instead of locks. To you, it's just a worn-out fridge. But to a child it's a caravan, a ship, a castle, even a bed . . and a death-trap! . impossible to open from the inside. Don't let an old fridge be a new danger to children. Take off the door, Or smash the lock, Or better still, ask your local council to take it away or tell you how to dispose of it . . before it kills a child. |

highways of agony
highways of agony. Warning-not exactly a barrel of laughs Critically-acclaimed upon its 2003 theatrical release, Hell's Highway: the True Story of Highway Safety Films recovers a missing chapter of American film history as it examines the fascinating and shocking driver education films of yesteryear. Produced between 1959 and 1979 by a group of volunteers in Mansfield, Ohio, these films promoted safety by presenting color footage of careless driving's dark consequences: blood-stained wreckage, injured bodies, fresh corpses. In the 1970s and '80s, these films disappeared from the American classroom and assumed an almost mythical status among those who had once seen them. Hell's Highway unearths these artifacts of grim Americana and interviews the filmmakers responsible for this radical educational movement. Hell's Highway also explores the driver's ed film on a wider scale, with scenes from more whimsical classroom films and interviews with such pop culture historians as ephemeral films archivist Richard Prelinger and cult video impresario Mike Vraney. But even the most innocent educational film was shadowed with potential dangers: cinematic manifestation of society's darkest fears. |
