Sliding Into Danger - (A Castrol Film)
Release Date: 1st January 1969
Synopsis: This is an instructional film teaching the viewer how to drive safely in adverse conditions including snow, ice, fog, frost, mud and sand.

Shotlist:
"Commentary by Ronald Priestly; chief instructor of the British School of Motoring. The film opens with a man driving a Mini, putting on car stereo. View inside and outside car. Car crashes. Sequence with newspapers on fire and shots of crashed cars; cars driving through snowy towns and on ice.     00:05:39 - cars practising skid control rear wheel slide. This footage shows the viewer how to correctly control skidding due to dangerous road conditions - there is a lot of footage of this.    NB The film is shaky and poor at the beginning (the print not the camera work)."

You might be able to spot some continuity errors in the Mini part of the film....  :lol:
