EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured at the National Racing Car Show in 1961, we witness a demonstration of car safety belts that aimed to highlight their importance in protecting passengers during accidents. The scene unfolds at the prestigious Royal Horticultural Hall, where 19-year-old Annabel Maue fearlessly participates in the simulation. As the effect of hitting a tree at 30mph is simulated, Annabel remains seated while her legs fly up dramatically. This powerful visual representation showcases the potential consequences of not wearing a seatbelt and serves as a stark reminder of how crucial these safety measures are on our roads. The photograph encapsulates an era when road safety was gaining increased attention and awareness. Seatbelts were emerging as essential tools for safeguarding lives, and events like the National Racing Car Show played a vital role in educating the public about their significance. This image from TopFoto captures both the intensity of Annabel's experience and society's growing commitment to transport road safety measures such as seat belts. It serves as a timeless reminder that even seemingly small actions can have life-saving implications when it comes to ensuring our well-being on the roads
