I got sent the link from ACC. It's the new "visibility campaign" by Auckland Transport.

Yep - right there...

Saw a huge billboard on Kahikatea Flats road on Sunday...featured a bike following a car and read 'Think Twice Before Overtaking'...dont know who put it there.

Even a retarded chimp should be able to see that bike, is there some biker-only internet filter that stops car drivers looking at the page? I mean why else would the message not at least hint at the drivers responsibility to look

Also, have they done something to his headlights? Don't look quite right to me.

There's one on the road to Raglan. Says "Motorcycle Crash Zone"

I'm not sure if it's a warning or an invitation...

That's fucking stupid. I would have seen the prick if the site would let me look.

High vis wouldn't have made a fucking difference. The driver looking would have. ACC are complete and utter fucktards.

I wonder how much that land for sale is? to the right. Good spot for a diary.
Sun-strike could be a problem at the intersection...its pretty gleary looking right.

Funny you should say that, there was a chap at Colmans the other week looking at a 1200 Bandit, he had just trashed his the week before at Raglan.

It's probably a silly question to ask bikers

[MSTRS:Me]

Is this a trick question? There's more than two motorcyclists? Teehee

What I didn't spot were any 30kph limit signs. There's a man working on the side of the road. And those oh-so-dangerous road cones. Aren't speed signs mandatory about Auck roadworks?

also, judging by the distance, that bike must be doing less than half the speed of the car for the car to get through in front at the intersection, his awareness could have avoided the accident too. Yup, think I'll stick with awareness over high vis any day.

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"

[nodrog:Me]

He was speeding, good job!

What accident? All I see is a google street view...

Edit: - As you were. I figured it out. The biker was in plain sight, but he should have had his headlights on. That's the law. But doubt it would make any difference. Looked like the car driver had a headcam...he didn't even look before pulling out.

[Usarka]

Oh you can look right.

Kind of proves that it is fucked in the head drivers that cause the problem by not looking, nothing to do with what the rider is wearing. Twats.

Edit/PS: FFS don't send that link to anyone, fuck their viral campaign. In fact move this thread to PD.
