    Thats good advertising.
    Puts the human edge towards the cage drivers.
    Nice to see positive angles.

    Unfortunately ACC are more interested in spending levys on full page newspaper smear campains.

    Good ad though.

    That looks like a lot of power consumption. Could I perhaps just get lasers fitted to the bike capable of shooting through cars?

    Cool vid thanks. And I used to bike through those exact roads everyday, and have even been cut up in that tunnel. Sadly drivers are not very caring around there, and without the large signs I am not sure they are going to start being so.

    Agree with comments though that it is great to see bike safety being shown as a cager - not biker - issue.

    Thanks everyone. Although I've previously posted about the following situational awareness video: http://www.public.tv/channel.php?gro...9MF4-C6GO-YVU5, I reckon that people who only drive cages should be made to sit down and watch it, as well as inexperienced riders in particular. I think cagers would be gobsmacked with the amount of observation that's going on.

    I had to shake my fist at a 4x4 driver on the Coro-Thames coast road this morning who cut a corner and was aiming straight at me. Plenty of time to take avoiding action but judging by the big swerve on her part, it was clear that she wasn't paying attention. I must revise my theory a bit. Thought that the only 4x4 drivers who were a menace were those who wore baseball caps and had moustaches. Maybe it's only those who are towing boats with mo's and baseball caps who are the real dickheads on the road. (see:http://geoffjames.blogspot.com/2010/...ack-of-em.html for my rant)
