Man Alive

The Biggest Epidemic of our Times (1981x12)

Air date: Mar 19, 1981

Astonishingly, our chances of being killed on the roads have stayed the same for half a century-it is almost as though we have decided to tolerate 6,000 dead each year. Why do we so meekly assume that the carnage is inevitable when patently it is not? In a specially extended film report, Man Alive hears from doctors, police and accident investigation teams who are angry and bewildered that so little is done to stop the killing.
