Intent to Speed: Cyclical Production, Topicality and the 1950s Hot Rod Movie
No full textThis essay tracks the emergence, consolidation and dissolution of the short cycle of hot rod movies that was exhibited from 1956 to 1958. The aim is to explore this cycle’s connection to topical issues and show how filmmakers used timely subjects. The essay examines the media frenzy that whirled around the subculture of hot rodding and the sensationalist marketing strategies used to promote the films, which are linked to exhibition in drive-in theatres. There is an extraordinary mismatch between the thrills promised by the sales pitch for the films and the pedestrian action of the films themselves. While showing intent to speed, few examples of the cycle actually delivered on the promise to thrill. Finally, questions of turnover and the speed of production are considered. What draws these areas of interest together is a series of enquiries about what made hot rods and hot rod culture useful to film producers and audiences
When common sense just won't do: Misconceptions about changing the behaviour of road users
No full textThis paper examines the paradox that a number of road safety measures popular with the general community have not proven cost-effective when subjected to rigorous evaluation. While examples of this can be found throughout road safety, it is perhaps most pronounced in the case of behavioural approaches. To demonstrate this point, the paper reviews a number of behavioural measures which have widespread community support, but limited road safety effectiveness, including driver training programs, harsher penalties, and the isolated use of mass media road safety campaigns. \ud
\ud
Community support for these measures is often linked to their intuitive appeal. From the road users perspective it appears a matter of ‘common sense’ that they are effective. However, on closer inspection, this support is often based on misconceptions about crash causation, road user behaviour or ways of achieving behaviour change.\ud
\ud
Two important implications emerge from this review. Firstly, in order to achieve their objectives, road user safety measures need to be based on sound behavioural principles, rather than on ‘common sense’ or intuition. Secondly, road safety agencies need to actively promote the effectiveness of successful road safety measures. This will not only improve support for these measures, but assist in shaping community perceptions about safe behaviour, which may in turn contribute to the acceptance of new approaches
