★★★★★ · still true today, tomorrow · EWKEANE · 2003-04-23
In this film, students of driving methods learn the basic principals of mass flow, accelleration/decelleration, mass movement syncronization, ect... neccessary to operate an automobile like a professional. timeless classic.
★★★★ · "I'll be seeing you!" · Umass_Kid · 2004-04-03
First why do the cartoon characters have no nipples? Second, great shots of different scenes involving California highways, 1930ÃÂÃÂs cars, and city streets. Third talking voices in your head? Would you want this guy on the road?
★★★★ · Excellent 1930's Driver's Ed. film · ERD · 2006-09-18
Well done Driver's Ed. film for its time. Enjoyed seeing the 1930's cars and streets as well.
★★★★ · Very good · The_Emperor_Of_Television · 2013-03-13
As ERD says, it's nice seeing scenes of the 1930s (traffic, etc).
★★★ · Drive Fast, Take Chances! · MediaWhore · 2004-06-10
This film shows good examples of road rage in it's early stages. Be on the look out for the bizarre and creepy Mad Mountain Character (old scary guy wearing a diaper who pushes cars downhill).

Animated Reckless Rudolph and Sensible Sam battle in the boxing ring, and over the soul of the average driver, like in cartoons when a character has a moral dilemma and a little devil whispers in one ear and an angel in the other. Sensible Sam wins, of course, and the boxing ring countdown turns into a list of ten rules for traffic safety, ending with "Obey all laws!" Like many films of this type, its message is undercut by its dogmatic tone and the goody two-shoes quality of Sensible Sam. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ***. Weirdness: ***. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***. Also…
