It wasn’t until the 1980s that it became illegal to not wear a seatbelt in the front seat of car. However, accidents still happened and to stop people from taking risks while it was still legal, public information films extolled the virtues of the seatbelt with the message: “Clunk Click Every Trip“. Here’s (oh God) Jimmy Savile and others to demonstrate, particularly to you ladies watching.
For a little change of pace, I’ll also give you this hardcore remix by Jam Hamster. It’s very catchy.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
