My American school in the 1990s showed “Signal 30” in Driver’s Education class, a gruesome documentary film from the 60s showing deceased, disfigured victims in automobile accidents. Totally messed up to show kids that.

I think it is rather more messed up to give teens the power to create such horrors without first making them confront what exactly a car can do.

Teenagers are not emotionally developed enough to take lessons from movies like that. We laughed and then drove like assholes.

About ten years later also in America, our Driver's Education documentary was called "Red Asphalt".

Yup, saw the same thing around 2010 in my Driver's Ed class.
