Can you spot the motorcycle?

Yup... still, I wouldn't mind $50 towards some nice new gloves so took their silly test. Whats with the cheese grater symbol when you get a question wrong? They accusing me of something?

[brin_vg]

I swore I'd finish their silly test nicely but then I accidentally went and put 1 How Stupid Do You Think We Are? Street as my address. Woops.

Bahahahah lol I wasn't quite so polite

I wondered that too, maybe the real message they are trying to get across is think twice about riding at all?

I thought they were accusing me of being a bitch and to get back into the kitchen or something

Nah they have them on the motorbike test as well as the scooter one

Wonder what the chick in the pink top is doing walking down a footpath in the middle of a deserted suburban development?

....yeah I know what a bitch...
That really is the issue here... people just wandering aimlessly.
Do away with any/all distractions and the road toll should subside.

That's unpleasant, unrepresentative, fear mongering, propaganda IMHO.

I am struggling to find a starting point to explain the bias & misinformation presented in that little shocker of a video.

I think the motto from ACC should really read, "we don't give a toss about motorcyclists & neither should you"

Completely agree.

"Without Hi-vis clothing you're just part of the scenery"

Oh right, I sincerely apologise for not avoiding the unavoidable fuckwit who can't drive to save him/herself....completely my fault sir!

No mention of the driver who should perhaps take a little more care to actually pay attention to what's going on around them.

Am I safe in presuming there'll be a huge campaign now to convince all drivers that they must only buy hi-vis coloured cars?

At least there is a whole bunch of helpful and relevant stuff on the McSAC website, that was set up by actual bikers.

Oh...


Wait..........

Then wait some more.....

[Oblivion]

This is blatant scaremongering.

I won't wear a hi viz just because someone says that I WILL die with out one. In broad daylight, motorcyclists even without hi viz, are quite easy to see, and hear. Had some dude follow me on a Harley this morning. Heard noise looked in the mirror, saw a bike. Boom! I took care to give him space, blah blah blah.

The times that a motorcyclists are in serious danger, is when cage drivers are unaware of their own surroundings. As shown in the video.

It was clearly a give way sign. I didn't see any looking.

I feel the implications of that ad are about as clear a statement from ACC as I have yet heard....

If you ride a bike then the onus is on you to be seen & avoid incident regardless of other road users behaviour.



I stand corrected, it's not just ACC it's Auckland Transport. Ok, the powers that be.

Ooooohh, I'm so flustered I'm getting confused. Time for a cup of tea & a lie down.

[Bald Eagle]

, fuck their viral campaign. In fact move this thread to PD.

PD please quickly

[blackdog]

Agreed. PD.

That MUST be it! All road users must be Hi-Viz! Will stop people driving with hangovers I guess.
