New bike safety advert

Good ad. It should be aired to make Air NZ think

**ManDownUnder** · 1st February 2006, 12:41

That ad is briliant.
Yes - serves as something to think about - for drivers AND motorcyclists.

Wonder when little ol' NZ will get anything 1/2 as effective as that on our screens???

Amazing how many people look right, then left and then take off. When we were kids being taught to safely cross the road it was always right, then left then right AGAIN, before you cross-guess its not taught anymore...

I only see drivers look left then right and left these days which is the wrong way.........if they stop in the first place cause 'glancing' seems to be the fashion these days.....once they have already stuck their nose out.

I felt that one when I first watched it. Would be a great one to put onto NZ telly, but some PC poofta would no doubt complain...

I think it's unlikely TVNZ ot TV3 would show it as it's probably copyrighted, but WE can get it out there. Copy it and email it to everyone you know. I have sent it around my mates in Telecom and arranged for it to be sent out with our next OSH newsletter. Have also sent it on to mates at Telstra, Chch Council and Honda Cars who are sending it around their organisations. The life I save may be mine, the life you save may be yours or your mates.

By the way, this add originally appeared on here in the following thread ...
