Worn Tyres kill.
I luv the way it starts as a PIF cartoon then ends up in Hells Highway territory with crashed mini.
The last film featuring Joe and Petunia. On a mountain drive, Petunia sees a notice board advising that "Worn Tyres Kill", and repeatedly asks Joe whether he has checked their tyres. He tries to evade the question, then says they're not worn, they're "a bit smooth". Petunia is relieved, but then he skids and crashes the car, in a moment of wonderful televisual technique as the cartoon image changes to a shot of a real car accident. A caption states "WORN TYRES KILL" as we hear faint voices repeating the words from the start of the film: "Nice view up here, Petunia." "Yes, very nice, Joe."

Warning dullest film stills ever

Probably the most boring and condescending PIF ive ever scene,basically telling old folks how to cross the road.

I Stopped, I Looked and I Listened (1975, 15 minutes): a moving trip down memory lane and some road safety advice for the older pedestrian.
