Let's hope ACC doesn't start running this!

If you're a responsible rider who looks to minimise the risks associated with motorcycling then the ad clearly isn't aimed at you.

If it gets any motorcyclist who rides like an idiot having second thoughts about the manner in which they ride, then the ads have served their purpose.

There you go with the extremes again. Again, you are implying that a rider is either an idiot or not. Black or white.

I think the real idiots will always be idiots. And these kinds of ads won't change their ways.*

My proposal is that maybe (as I said, I'd need to see real stats on how accidents occur and who they occur to) they'd be better off targetting the middle-ground.

Instead of "saving" one real idiot, they'd (maybe) save ten "average" riders by making them think again before that one "mistake" they make...



[* It's like drunk drivers. The cops are aparently (recent news article) amazed that people still drive drunk after seeing all those ads. Geez, the idiots who drive drunk are not going to care about one more gory ad on T.V. It didn't stop them yesterday, it won't stop them today.]

I think a better approach is to be a bit more softly-softly; get the "average" riders to remember that they too can make mistakes, screw up or whatever... and take steps to both minimise risks and mitigate the results.

Yes that is a very good suggestion. A video of a calm rider getting caught out would have far wider impact.

The'd make more but they are running out of stunt motorcyclists willing to sacrifice their lives.

And if they don't get it all in the first take........................

You are not allowed to call them stunt, they are just short people
