this is a must see video, it is a drive safe video for somewhere in europe to help promote watching out for bikes. http://www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk/campaigns/motorcycles/media/howclose.mpg

Great find, I saw one a while ago that had a guy that kept on running into everyone and then at the end it said "what if motorcyclists didn't see you?" or something like that. If anyone knows what I'm talking about or has a link to it let me know.

I agree though, they should start running adds like that here in the states.

They wouldn't need motorcycle specific ads. They just need ads that say "Put down your friggen cell phone, hamburger, makeup, map, DVD, and whatever the hell else you're doing and PAY ATTENTION!!!!"

That's a pretty disturbing video.

However, its the rider's responsibility to keep himself alive and out of danger. To be a defensive rider/driver means that you are looking for scenarios like this.
