I am reminded of a defensive driving course that was required at the Naval Air Station where I was stationed in the early 1960s.
One of the films we were required to watch was called "Death On The Highways".
NOTHING was staged, it was actual pictures of people who had been severely injured or killed in auto crashes. The blood and body parts were real.
After all these years, I still remember that film!
Or the families of the 4 teenagers who were killed in a crash on the U.S. Highway 2 "S curves" between Hungry Horse, Montana and Martin City Montana. They told the editor of the Hungry Horse News to put the picture of the crashed car with their dead kids in it on the front page of the newspaper, in hopes it would convince somebody else's kids to be more careful.
It worked!

Flesh, Metal and Glass. That is the film that many teenagers were required to watch in Drivers Education class many years ago.
