Hmm theres an audio click as if the indicator comes on (late if anything) yet the drivers hands havent moved. How odd. I wouldnt blame the biker for the driver's late or lazy inducation (though I would have held off near the junction myself)
Correct me if I am wrong here but the biker can see you the whole time. Besides if he was in lane behind the car instead of hovering in the blindspot as if there was a magic 3rd lane for motorbikes there's be no problem.
Seems like it would be more useful to actually tell bikers the rules of the road than try and train everyone else to make special allowances because they don't like lanes...
@SavageParrot THIS !!!!! Thank you, saves me from typing the same thing. My brief time living in the UK showed me that bike riders can be just batshit crazy. I dont see the need to go after car drivers to "think" about half insane biker drivers who have no respect and "think" that they own the road. If your that paranoid owning a bike...then...buy a car *faceplam*
My mum calls me the Widowmaker because apparently I pay no attention to motorcyclists, last week she confiscated my car keys because I knocked a leather clad nutcase off his bike (He's not dead BTW) but there was no other way of avoiding the 40 ton Scammel.
this is the funniest thing i've ever seen if they want to make people feel scared about something they shouldn't put something so hilarious on the tv. i might make a parody of it.
Yeah, I agree. The overtly menacing tone just does it for me. And I encourage that parody wholeheartedly; feel free to Video Response it if you make it. ;)
I don't really get how he hit the bike unless the bike went to try and pass the car *Shrugs* but i suppose for the driver in the car he should have done a head check after checking his mirrors
In what way is the driver of the car at fault for what happens in this advert? Assuming he indicates (which is never made clear one way or another), surely the biker was obliged to wait for the car to turn off the road before getting past? Just like any other vehicle on the road?
Cheers for posting, though, I've been looking for this for ages :)
No trouble. I always thought personally that the biker had turned inward way too soon, but seeing as how I don't drive or know the Highway Code I didn't want to make a mistake. Thanks for helping, there.
Bikers like this one are called organ donors around here

This should've ended with the cyclist dying on the street and the voiceover finishing with "Now you don't..."

I have to agree. That crash would have been entirely the bikers fault! You can even clearly hear the indicator.

if you look carefully at his left hand at 0:19, it drops quickly ages after he crashed!

This is funny mainly because Christopher Eccleston trying to sound serious makes me laugh!

This was one of my favourite Think! adverts. Really clever idea.

Nice to see a comment from ya, wuzzlevideos - you're obviously one of my bigger influences for uploading these. :)
And I agree, this one is certainly better than most.

Now you mention it, I'd love to see Doctor Who hit someone with a car. Actually, maybe I wouldn't.
