We saw the same film in high school for driver's ed class! Graphic. Don't think they can show it these days...someone would sue over it.

Here it is on youtube

LBrain: I agree. We all feel like we're treated like children.

BTW, you called me a JAP om a different thread in here. Should I be offended..? I thought about that while I was at the gym... Sure sounds a lot more comfortable than SNA (Screwed-up Norwegian Alcoholic).

No No No ... I wasn't calling anyone a jap. It was what I thought to be a funny reference. Unless you grew up around here you couldn't really get it.
So... NEVERMIND
