Overview
Eyes right, eyes left, eyes right again. Children learn the "golden rules" of road safety in this charming short film. Road accidents can have many consequences, as we see here, as one young lad loses his chance to captain the school cricket team. This is a theme reinforced by Test cricketer Alec Bedser, who reminds us that pedestrians and cricketers alike have to abide by a set of rules.
