About How It Feels to Be Run Over
A horse-drawn coach comes up an open road and passes out of frame. An automobile follows, swerves toward the camera, and the people in it wave. When the car fills the frame, the film cuts to cards reading Oh, mother will be pleased.

Themes
Look
Hepworth pointed the camera down the road and held it as the car drove into the lens.
Preservation
A surviving print is missing the word Mother on the end card.
Notes
- The print that was found lacked the word Mother, so the card read Oh, will be pleased.
- Hepworth's Explosion of a Motor Car, also 1900, is another automobile gag from the same year.
Scenes
- The car fills the frame and the film cuts to the title card.
