Take Longer To Look For Bikes

As Jeremy Clarkson says "Wear your high visibility jacket!"

Got done just like this about 400 meters from my house. Car pulled out I went bouncing down the road. Got off with cuts and bruses. I hurts more in the morning 6 hours in casualty all my clothes cut off at the side of the road. Then I get home and the wife wants to kill me. What a day!

We went to the Boardwalk shopping center for our christmas run, on the way to Suzuki, where we first met a guy in a red car came in infront of us, skipping a robot, then later on a guy in a blue pickup / bakkie almost took us out when we had the mass run, and he almost took a bmw cruiser out aswell. So for all you anti bikes shit heads hear. 2 words THINK BIKE and THINK LIVES. It's people like you that kills OUR brothers and sisters.

[tutubas]

the fact that the bike cannot be seen in the first part is exactly the point - the driver glanced and as far as he's concerned, there's nothing there. Bikes are small, cars have loads of blinds spots, people do not pay enough attention. The point is BE SURE before you pull out at at a junction.

[predatortheme]

fucking retard on the begin when the camera goes to right, you dont see the biker -.-

[kezman44]

THINK! Take longer to accelerate on a bike, and maybe you dont die!

@kezman44 Shows you don't ride a bike mate, People are always pulling out on me whether I'm doing the speed limit or not. It happens almost daily and riders need to be trained to watch out for these idiots. We need some advertisements like this in Australia because right now there is none.

Yes please!

[Niklotov]

I'm a rider and i tell u this ad is bloody true. It's wad u think isn't there (when he first look). We turn our heads to glance at both directions everyday but did we really "Observe" e road carefully like how u freeze the frame to look for e presence of a bike coming? ....this i think can only be answered by ur own conscience.

ale gówno

What a load of rubbish. First part of the video, the bike was not present anywhere. I even paused and examined each frame! Also the bike that arrived after he pulled out, was going very fast for a built up 30mph area, with the engine screaming.

Second part of the video clearly shows the bike in view with its headlight on, with the engine puttering along at a safe slow speed.

[wheeliehome]

shut up you divvy thats the reason of the advert to stop idiot car drivers pulling out on bikes. by the way unless you can see through his head then shut up. bikes are smaller than cars if you didnt notice that so you wouldnt see it you gimp

[sfliddie]

just to let you know, the bike actually isnt there on the 1st part of the video, what a load of shite this commertial actually is

Idiot number 2

...I apologize to my parents, to my friends...I didn't take care of myself as I once promised I would. Even if it wasn't my fault...but if I probably would've driven slower, I could've avoided it. Now, it's pointless. It's cold down here between these four boards...'

[mattofwashington]

@iluvmotorbikes I had a close call today, so I sent this to my friends, pleading them to ensure they have plenty of room to enter traffic. But then I read your story (a few times) and realized that, ultimately, my life is in my hands, regardless of fault. I found this to be the most powerful line: "I didn't take care of myself as I once promised I would." I'm guilty of becoming complacent, but I need to be as cautious as I was on Day 1. Thanks for posting this! You may have saved my life!

[iluvmotorbikes]

just a quote i found on a forum...'I tried to yell for help, I wanted to reach my hand out and grab the phone, I tried to crawl to the edge of the road, but it was useless...I couldn't move. I felt the asphalt getting colder and colder, more and more reddish...I was slowly dying, I saw tears in the eyes of those who knew me...I never imagined it could happen to me. I could've sworn that I could brake, that I could avoid it, but it wasn't that way.

I wish they had this in WA, Considering in 2006 the WA Insurance Commission reported that of the 403 accidents resulting in the hospitalisation of a rider or pillion, fault was placed on the rider in only 25 (6.2%) of these cases.

[SapperK9]

Wonderful!

Well done UK. Would it was that our Western Australian Road Safety Council Chair, Grant Dorrington could be as effective in procing educating material for the media.

But he's just a government tool, and incapable of consideration of ALL road users in his QANGO position.
