@@redzebrave I remember pulling over to help somebody broken down in a travel lane with no shoulder. I keep some cones in my trunk, so I put them back in a line 200ft back, like the DOT says. I'm glad I did, because a driver on his phone didn't see the one 200' back, and didn't see the one 100' back until he was about to hit it. Those hundred feet bought him an extra second to slow down and change lanes. That's one reason it's so annoying that commercial truck drivers will just dump their triangles in a sloppy heap next to their bumper and call it a day

She's the most dangerous person I've ever been in a car with. She totalled 5 cars in 4 years and somehow it's always the other driver's fault. I know it's because she pauses in intetsections while turning and crawls through them going straight. She can't keep a mirror and constantly hits the garbage cans or fence while parking in the driveway, runs over curbs, etc. I could complain all day about her driving. I just refuse to get in her car anymore. There's a place in Knoxville Tennessee called Malfunction Junction (actual name) where I-40 and I-75 intersect.

1965. There was also Goofy's Freeway Troubles, both for 18 year olds.

[@joannewatts9892]

This film ( starring , Goofy) was shown in drivers ED class , in high school 🏫

[@m3talentagency680]

Somethings never change.

[@harveyanimations8974]

Surprisingly informative

[@luvdomus]

Such clarity of design, really gets the points across. Disney can't do informative animation like this anymore because they have no intellect behind their product, only marketing strategies, thus an endless series of 'Disney princesses.'

[@ednammansfield8553]

I remember watching this back in the 1970's when I was in the RAF on a driving course on military vehicles and part of the course was how to drive on motorways. Even though this is for American drivers it is relevant here in the UK too imo. Really enjoyed watching this film again.

[@jlarral]

These are my favorite Disney cartoons to watch. Especially the ones with Goofy.

[@lawnmowermanTX]

Dallas, El Paso, Houston, Austin, Galveston, San Antonio, Waco, Temple, Killeen, San Marcos, Brownsville, Midland, Round Rock, and Texarkana are all described purrfectly in this training video! Try rush hour during a Tornado, a 15 car pileup and every soccer mom, trying to get her kids to the game.

[@tealnoise]

They should show this in driver's ed or dmv. I'm not sure why I got this recommended to me, though. I've been driving for three years now. Lol.

[@aramboodakian9554]

Great to hear Paul Frees narrating!

[@lucyluwickerbeast851]

this was cool thank you i am still trying to get my driver license i am 31 i do get nervous when i drive i have a permit to drive i know how to drive this has helped me a lil bit thank you i never drove high but this will help me.

[@falconeshield]

Hang in there. You'll make it!

[@anniefinch6843]

I remember this cartoon of Goofy and it's on Walt Disney presents. But the show Walt Disney presents isn't on television anymore. But it's on Disney plus and KZbin.

Depending on my mood, I'm either the care-free driver or the angry driver.

[@Godtubes]

Florida exclusive species that have newly evolved: Toxicus Opiodicus: Pillheads zonked out on whatever their doctor and/or plug gives them. Drives like their wife’s in labor whether it’s the freeway or a school zone. Most likely to start fights with others on the road who are as awful at driving as they are. Blares loud and terrible music. Cantankerus Antiquus: Cruises in the left lane. Leaves a dozen car lengths between the car in front of them at red lights. Takes ages to go when the light turns green and even longer to turn. Leaves the blinker on and/or turns them on for the wrong direction.

[@chrisnizer]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this for us to enjoy my friend, Semper Fidelis.

[@texasgrillchef8581]

My biggest pet peeve is those that get in the far left lane and drive 10 below the speed limit as they pass signs (in Texas) that clearly state, “LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY!” And yet they aren’t passing anyone.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Lanicus Campus Iritous!!

[@Marbles471]

I've done the opposite. I've spent hours on end driving almost entirely in the left lane but at TOP speed. I guess that's not good, either, but at least I don't think it's inconveniencing anyone.

[@texasgrillchef8581]

@@Marbles471 it’s not unless someone wants to pass you. That’s where being polite and noticing people in your mirrors to move over and let them pass. Even if they are speeding. I have talked to several THP, and unless they are speeding over 15mph over the speed limit. They will write you a ticket for being in the wrong lane the. They will for someone speeding. (Unless the speeder is being reckless, or excessively speeding)

[@texasgrillchef8581]

@@Marbles471 in Texas sometimes, especially in west Texas. It’s very possible to be in the left lane and not even see a soul for miles on end!

I watched this in Drivers Ed in 1986 at El Camino H.S. We also had to watch Red Asphalt. One of our football coaches taught the class. I still have my pink Learners Permit. 🙂

6:52- For the record, in American English when "H" is a consonant, as in "habitual" or "hospital," you sa "a," not "an." An is used when it's a vowel, as in "hour."

[@thelasttoknow]

What an amazing educational video. This should be seen in schools and dmv classes.

[@ZerokillerOppel1]

Omg...I've been looking so long for this cartoon!!!😊

[@Firstclassdrivingschool]

Many good points, the only update needed update is the old, "One car length for every 10 miles per hour". That old adage is one of many reasons why rear-end collisions are the most common collisions in every state. We have been teaching 3 second or more since the early 90's.

[@wondergranny2299]

This is one of my favorite cartoons ever!

[@gophersmith]

My dad drove every day for over 50 years. Didn't use the freeway once. Never got into an accident.

[@Phoenix_Films]

Okay and?

[@michaelbruvolt4221]

The only accidents I've ever been in is OFF the freeway. Never been in one on the freeway. My conclusion: freeways are safer

[@theusher2893]

My dad was an astronaut and flew every day for 50 years. Used to fly me to school in an Apollo capsule. Never used the freeway once. Never got into an accident.

[@timl.b.2095]

I moved to the Detroit metro area recently to be nearer a grandkid, as I was sick to death of I-96 and the never-ending construction on it. I have been avoiding freeways like the plague since the move.

[@adamlea6339]

The last example covers a significant percentage of people in SE England during normal daily life. You can spot them easily enough as they will be fiddling with a phone or walking a dog.

[@paulsmodels]

Our freeways and roads are now filled with these 3 types of drivers everywhere you go. And now it's much worse thanks to cell phones, drive thru fast food, drive thru coffee shops, and faster cars.

Translation into poker terminology: Timidicus = nit (tight passive) Fidgetus = maniac (loose passive) Neglectus = calling station
