I thought that driving today was dangerous . With all the distractions like cell phones. radio tuning, reading, eating and just plain inexperience. This video is not only humorous but Babe Ruth is in it.
This video is a riot, even though I’m sure “Driving Around NYC – 1928” was mostly if not all staged. Still wild and crazy stuff, including Harold Lloyd taking Babe Ruth to Yankee Stadium. Anybody know who, just before that, is the businessman taking a ride in Lloyd’s taxi as it is being chased by an angry copper? The horse-drawn carriage scene shows the best historic Manhattan buildings. Again, I am assuming all of this is staged, but clips of traffic being staged doesn’t mean it wasn’t dangerous, or realistic. Real driving around the city was dangerous. This is not stop-action photography, after all. (Is it?)

Gone in 60 Seconds Car Chase (1974) HD
The full car chase from Gone in 60 Seconds taken from the most recent HD release starring the indestructible Eleanor. Here's the original unmastered version ...
Long Beach and Carson California from 1974. I love the Billy the kid and the stoned gangbangers in their blue 1966 Cadillac getting in the way!

Babe Ruth Cameo cameo when cars had no air bags, mechanical brakes (not hydraulic) and no handling either! People drive like this today sometimes LOL.
