Wtf. It wasn't his fault at all.
I saw this film in grade school circa 1967, the family was the typical nuclear family of the late fifties era, preparing for and traveling en route to a vacation in the country. The scene I remember most was at the end of the story, the father and son are dead and the now financially desperate mother and daughter are forced to sell off some of the household possessions and furniture.
Not a bad safety short, but I'm thinking there may have been some unfair blame placed on the father who swerved to avoid one collision but it ended up resulting in an even worse accident. See below for more.
