Épisode 1 - Episode 1

13 juillet 1978

The big holiday rush begins this weekend and many drivers plan to travel through Friday night. How dangerous is this practice? What are the stress factors and what are the signs of fatigue? Angela finds out for herself by night driving to the West Country. Twenty people are killed and over 200 seriously injured each week yet these figures could be cut to one tenth if we used our seat belts. Should we leave it to persuasion or is compulsion the final answer?

Épisode 2 - Episode 2

20 juillet 1978

The training of a British police driver is said to be the best in the world, but what makes it so good?

Épisode 3 - Episode 3

Angela makes a comparison between the British system and the way it is done in Belgium, where they have been testing longer than anywhere else in Europe. Motor Caravans: reporter Mike Woodhead and family have their first experience of this fast-expanding do-it-yourself type of holiday.

Épisode 7 - Episode 7

24 août 1978

Traffic jams make the headlines almost every weekend of the summer.
