Yes..  they *told* us what lead up to it. But seeing how it may  
have happened with a lead-up (in a dramatization, perhaps) could  
have helped.

I remember getting behind the wheel for the first time and NOT  
ever thinking of those old films. But years later when movies  
depicted certain scenarios, *then* those scenes played back in my  
mind.
