Road Council Safety Display
With a realisation of the toll of the road, the Queensland Road Safety Council had a unique display at the show, and it was viewed by a large crowd of people at each session that was conducted.
The Miles driver training machine was shown. The machine is operated similarly to a vehicle on the road and the reactions of the driver are shown on a screen. On the screen are various road signs.
The machine tests both the ability of the driver and his reactions, that is, the lag of time between seeing the danger and telling himself to act.
A number of charts provide illustrations of the carelessness exercised by both drivers and pedestrians. “Life is precious – watch your step,” is the caption of one poster.
