Description

Let's take a trip back in time, a century ago. City streets belonged to pedestrians; they roamed freely, going wherever and whenever they pleased. However, as cars increased in the 1920s, accidents and fatalities became more prevalent. Together with historians, road experts and professors, Thomas Henley takes a closer look at a time when our roads were death traps, what role gender has played in car safety and the effectiveness of safety campaigns in adverts.
