Attention teen drivers: Dysfunctional driving video keeps it real
When I took driver's ed, the short movies we had to watch decades old and horribly dated. The techniques shown, which applied for bias-ply tires and rear wheel drive, didn't cross over neatly to front wheel drive cars shod with modern radials.
Tipster Martijn turned us on to this amusing bit of satire that's a send-up of driver-ed instructional fare created by Bruno Bozzetto. Though not the newest video to hit the web, it still very, very funny. Consider it a reminder of how being alert and aware is the most important thing you can do in any situation, and how the "herd mentality" usually spells trouble. Well, that's what we took from it, anyway. Enjoy the show after the jump.
Thanks for the tip, Martijn!

He should of also made fun of 1. slow people in the fast lane and 2. cars fighting for spots at the very front of the mall instead of walking a few feet, and 3. driving through a gas station on a corner to cut off people making right turns.

Funny.
I remember from drivers-ed in my highschool days a hilarious movie with Disney's Goofy (as a maniacle driver) in it. I've been trying for years to get a copy of that movie. I also remember another movie with Donald Duck teaching about geometry. Both are really cool movies.

GOT: That second one is "Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land". From some Googling/IMDbing, it like there were actually two Goofy films, "Freewayphobia #1" and "Goofy's Freeway Troubles" (aka "Freewayphobia #2").
