Sheesh.
If you had to ask, you'll never get the reasoning.
Back to your hobbyhorse.
That sounds like one of those "Um, I don't actually know the answer to that myself" answers.

And guess what - I bet you're not the only one to have done so.

Yeah but I'm old enough to know that you can tell someone something, hope they take it on board and hope for the best... As opposed to shoving it down their throat, to the point where they get rebellious and go the other way.
I've never disputed your 'message', just the way you constantly ram it in everywhere. You need to accept that people have different points of view and will carry on because they see things differently.
Most of your targeted audience have been at accident scenes. If they were to learn, they'd have done so by now. No amount of grandstanding will change that.
I stand by the flogging a dead horse statement, since people on both sides won't budge... You'll just be going round in circles.
In fact, I'm surprised this hasn't been dumped in PD yet...

They will be doing it regardless of your ramblings/attempts. People with that mindset are on a totally different plane to 'normal' people...

I don't think so.
You are treating everyone as an idiot. You are assuming people cannot think for themselves.
Most people will watch those vids and form an opinion based on their situations. By belittling others' intelligence, you are just insulting them.

Wow! I don't know if that's entirely appropriate... Not a subject to be made fun of really...

If that was a movie stunt I'd be impressed. If it's just some random (no, not you jr) then heaven help the poor buggers who ever happen to be in his path when he miscalculates.

if katman was commenting on videos like that I would agree with him.
The whole thing is he is taking much much much calmer videos just of guys riding quickly and lumping them in with videos like the one you just referenced.
Chalk and cheese

As for the above video, that was the point. There's a distinct difference in the mentality between the two...
