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

    I just found Victoria OZ are/were running these ads, I also know NZTA like to ignorantly copy Victoria's ways, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the sort of propaganda we start to see in th coming months. (sorry if this has already been brought up, I just hate this kind of BS propaganda)

    tbh I think we are more or less viewed in that way as it is, I enjoyed this vid as a motorcyclists take on it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=samziIoOlw4

    The TAC ads are coming under increased criticism from all sorts of sectors as they are anti-motorcycling rather than anti-fuckwit.

    Most critics suggest they would have better spent the money traning a fuckwit rather than going for gore.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    it's quite well done to be honest but bullshit in the same way. Let's be fair we bring it all on ourselves. Let's face it, we all ride like that

    Apart from the last scene it's all pretty well done. Although I guess it could have been done more in a more informative way rather than just showing the way some idiot bikers ride.

    I'd like to know where there stats came from.

    I would estimate that 30% of bikers make me feel this ad is suitable.

    But then again - You all think Katman and I are grumpy knobs.

    If the govt and ACC monitor this site as I suspect, they now know about these adds so it wouldn't surprise if they start using this tactic against us.

    Outward interference aside, it's always been up to us to reduce the risk - struggling to see the problem with that particular ad, myself.

    problem is other motorists see it as well, then figure if a biker crashes he just got what was coming to him, from wiki it says the biggest cause of bike accidents is other motorists pulling out in front of us, surely a true accident prevention scheme would target those type of accidents first? Some very good European adds do that.
