The Man Who Watches The Speedometer by Bateman. This illustration is of a man in his car. The faster he goes the more the speed affects him. First he looses his hat, then his hair. He becomes fixated by the speed he is doing and cannot look at anything but the speedometer. Up to 500mph and by the time he is back to a stop he has become paralysed by the meter and has to be lifted from the vehicle.
