How close Motorcycle crash

[stewartcastaneda]

why it the bike not in the first clip but is in the second?

[SuperKnuckels]

im gonna block an intersection for however long it takes to find a "bike" . BTW its winter, xD jk

[katieAshida]

holly crap!! i jumped right when he hit the car...almost piss'd my pants

[Cr0z2010]

how about not ride a bike moron. duh

[soweidanali]

oh shit my heart jumped outta my body, lol

[HXKexoh]

I agree that we should be aware of the motercycle drivers that we share the road with, I do however believe that it is a two way, that we should all, no matter what we are operating on the road,should be aware of each other and follow the laws as individuals with ours and the safety of others first and foremost!

[MrJuice105]

is it me or is it fake..but STAY FOCUS ON THE ROAD KIDS!!! lol scared the shit outta me!

[SuperUnknownMC]

i always have 1 foot on the brake and one eye on the rear veiw mirror. Be careful out there

[PauleSchaule]

at 0:08 you see that he is already on the road with his car. so would he just standing there, the bike would him anyway...

and second on 0:23 you see the biker right? on 0:08 you dont. and he is behind the white line...

anyway, its true. always stay focused on roads!!!

[GenJouh]

my hearth stopped beating for a sec there, jesus...

[GullRazz]

that happened to me once, now i always go by one rule when i'm on my motorcycle, Never Trust Anyone !

[seatboarder]

lmao i jumped when the bike hi it scared the shit outta me

[hotroller666]

me 2

[seatboarder]

lol

[DanciestCheese]

Man. When the car pulled out the first time and the bike hit him it scared the crap outta me.

[Klimek07kw]

look look ;]

[lalokullo]

wow it looks so real

[zali94]

very good video! 5/5 i have been in motorcycle accident with motorcycle:(

[DaBikerLady]

Awesome video.....lets hope this helps with Motorcycle awareness!

[D3YPPP]

Is it just me, or is the bikre not there at all in the first part of the video?

[gigidy5]

His head is in the way of the camera.

[blacksept47]

this is a great commercial, we need more of them!

[ferd02]

how do I get a copy of this video...It should be on the tv and everywhere possible....truly outstanding job badcamber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jamy50]

i dont know where you get the vid from but this advert was on tv years ago i definatly remember it lol just to let you know =0)

[leehallstringer]

Amen. I ride and whenever I approach that type of situation, I click my high beams on and off just for the extra attention.  It helps also to just assume that car WILL pull out in front you you. be ready.

[marshal1973]

Why someone wants to endanger themselves with these things I'll never understand. Hopefully you'll live to hear the excuses on why it happened, but does it matter? I'm not taking that chance. I'm not blaming someone else because of my choice in vehicles. *NEWSFLASH*

Accidents happen involving ALL vehicles. cycles tend to be less forgiving then cars. But I'm not saying anything you didnt know.

[shandy1314]

It's easy to get car drivers to look out for us, make them ride a moped as a compulasary part of thier driving lessons, and then they will relise how taking 5 secs more to look for bikes counts for a lot.

[artash007]

who drive bick in her life he look 10 times :P other draivers look only with 1 eye

[fcmarcus]

I think thats filmed in Watford - near Nascot Wood Road? Yeah!

[gordonrnelson]

If the armed forces would use this as a public service announcement, they would have way more kids to enlist.

[cutegreenfrog]

ive got provisionals for both my bike and car ( hopefully take tests this year), im s#*t scared that im gonna hit another biker when in my car. but none of my friends have realised just how vulnerable we bikers are when out. i hope they do improve awareness.

[blueman4444444]

Yes i belive this video should be shown to all L-Plate drivers and to also ride a bike so drivers know what to look for as well seeing our perspective as this video shows people use the excuse "I DID'NT SEE YOU". And if fact when on 4 wheels i do look for fellow riders which makes me a better driver/rider.

[AlondraFae]

I wish they would show this commercial everywhere...Drivers really need to watch more closely for bikers!

[22arcane]

We definitely need a campaign like that in Australia.

[Donavin1976]

Here in the U.S. they should require evryone to ride a bike and then a tractor on a course and do about 5 simple menuvers to get their passenger car license. they'd have a better appreciation of how other vehicles operate on the road,,, not just daddys lexus!

[bikerfreak1]

the worst is people in a cage turning left in front of you.

watch and make sure the look directly at you if possible.

[ricardo199z]

bloody car drivers not looking eh....my first bike was written off with me whilst I was waiting at a red light!!! the driver was looking at a map or something(according to a witness)and hit me at around 40mph, no skids,no braking,i was tossed into the air! the driver said they didnt see me!....then they told their insurance that it was my fault!!

took a year of solicitors,6months physio,public transport etc before I got back on the road.

[deluxedookie]

hope you won seeing how "he dident see you" means he was not paying attention and if he rear ended you.

[Ummr]

that should be shown on tv.

[cutegreenfrog]

It is in the UK.

[Ummr]

Well yeah its in the UK.. My point was to let more car drivers see the that..where ever they are, UK or anywhere else!

[pahogger]

Never assume anything on a motorcycle, especially that people in cars see you. Slow down at busy intersections, and make eye if you can. You can see if the person in the car is looking your way. It could save your life.

[timlexus]

Wish they'd run this ad in the US

[shotgun713]

i agree on the flasing leds

[nurbsenvi]

bikes should come with flashing LED lights

[chaserooo123]

eh quit arguing and dont ride a motorbike very simple

[94gtvert]

or ride a motorcycle because it's fun... I broke my leg 5 months ago on a bike, almost died, fixed the bike, my leg is healed and I'm back on it.

[jjjjjole]

very real threat, I wrote my first bike off at an intersection. lady didn't see me, and turned left in front of me. I always flash my high beam, or stand up on the pegs for a second before I enter intersections now.

[leavy1987]

stupid people shouldnt be driving anyways!

[emkamnk]

I always give a little extra room for bikes - unless it's an asshole on a crotch rocket, speeding and weaving between cars. Here in Florida, assholes outnumber responsible riders 10 to 1.

[Inertron]

Even if a dude on a bike is being a moron still give them room. Better to be safe.

[MisterMateo]

And then what? You try to kill him with your car? That's called assault with a deadly weapon.

Dumbasses are dumbasses, but death/serious injury is not an appropriate punishment for reckless driving!

[MortimerKahn]

@MisterMateo Tolerance of dangerous behavior is not the proper response either. If you see someone doing something that is against the law, you should get the tag number and call the authorities. Dumbasses can be dumbasses as long as they aren't endangering innocent people.

[blakeyboy450]

true and who the hell marked this as spam!

[mvanlerberg]

Maybe the dumbass bikers should slow down at intersections.

[cshaner96]

you shut the hell up, nobody sees you when your on a bike no matter how slow your going, ill admit in a situation like that the biker should have anticipated that, but until you ride and find out just how vulnerable you are you should keep your comments to yourself

[asianchixrok]

i agree

it's like someone walking in the middle of the road at night wearing all black

[85vf700f]

Wow what a brilliant idea! Next time I am out riding I will be sure to slow down at every intersection so at one of them the guy/girl that is tailgating me yakking on cellphone and drinking their dunkin donuts coffee while tring to select a cd to play can run me over and kill me.

[blackzc]

yeah its a tricky call, i do cover my brakes and try to look AT the driver of the car that might be pulling out to see what they are going to do.

[hin6487]

obviously ur too chicken shit 2 even try riding b4 u critizing others, its ignorant attitudes like urs that causes 90% of accidents on the road

[highpark2908]

The bike had the right of way in that T-Intersection.  So lets find out...would you have slowed down in your car? I think everyone who reads this will know that you probably wouldn't.

[Maxwedge12000]

Bikes NEVER have the right of way and if you ride one, never think you do.

[highpark2908]

Legally a bike should be treated the same as any car. If the car would get the right of way in that scenario then so should the bike.

Now...car drivers respecting that right of way is another story and as a result of their disrespect riders should be extra aware.

[simonyoxall]

It depends, if you have the right of way on a bike and want to prove it you could be dead right or dead wrong.

Ride safe

[rainabba]

You think lane-splitting should be illegal too right? Sure, let's congest traffic more, lock more people up in traffic, and force cycles to sit between to hammers waiting to crush em. Remember that attitude next time you're eating your McD's, changing the radio, talking on your phone, etc... Asshole.

[sirfalconx]

Excellent vid, all countrys need this.

I have a 1 million candle power light, I was thinking of rigging on my bike, so when someone pulls this shit i can flip it on. You would be hard pressed to miss that.

[theBloodShed]

Yep, this is exactly what happens to me... people pull out right in front of me while looking THE OTHER WAY.

[DOABlam]

I've been close to being hit by theese kinds of people, mostly they are old and woman. Sad.

[raidafrica]

i ride regualy and often have near misses, once slidding off along the curb to avoid a car, which then drove off

[c00lrouter]

GREAT VIDEO!!

Look look ....and LOOK!!!

They should trasmit it in Italy...

[mysterio2099]

Great video. Should be played every night during primetime TV on every major station in every country around the world. Will it? Hell no.

[puggster]

but if you pause the clip on the fist part before the bike hits you will see that there is no bike there but where it shows the second bit the bike is put in with the light on you can clearly see

this vid is fixed so you think you missed the bike at first glance but really there wasnt a bike in the first place so for those who missed the bike didnt actualy miss it coz it wernt there

[MMK13]

You've missed the point of the video.

[luckyduck322]

good video i wish we had it here in the states

[xxjodie2k6xx]

these adverts scare me specialyy the one wif the table and the gurl in the pub

[jfreeman83]

I ride in Australia and there's not a day that goes by when I'm not seen at an intersection and have to avoid a collision caused by a driver. I slow at intersections so there's room for error in a situation like this but drivers here are so ignorant towards others (cars aswell as bikes) and eager to get home those 10secs earlier so as not to miss the recaps at the beginning of their nightly Home and Away and Neighbours fix.

[antonio692]

this video is really necesary in Mexico to

deverian pasarlo en la tv de mexico tambien

[pawdregry4g]

Lol yes and the driver was on the wrong side of the car too!

[geniusgoalie]

Listen to the accent and think about your comment.

[qwertymulis]

listen to his tone and think about your lack of humour

[captaindk]

haha

[thehornypuppy]

Since in the US are such pussies this spot will vener get to the TV...at least...not whitout being censored first.

[0balance0]

No wonder he had an accident, the crazy guy was driving on the wrong side of the road!!!

[thehornypuppy]

Hahahahahahahaha...

I hope this is a joke...

[tobyricketts]

Yeah, look you car driving BASTARDS!!!

[MarKRodiN]

here in Mexico looks like the drivers wanna kill u.. =S is too fuckign dangerous to ride on the streets =S

we RLLY need something like this

[YashaF]

Both drivers and bikers need to be more aware of their surroundings. As a biker, it is my duty to be safe, and smart. However drivers have just as much an important role.

[fcpguy06]

As someone that was recently hit, this should be playing on TV in the states. Powerful images.

[AlexMcBeal]

When bikers will drive sppedless, there will be less crashes...

[highpark2908]

Bikes speeding is definitely a problem...but when cars enter my section of lane cause they are too impatient to change lanes or stay behind me when I am doing the speed limit it gives you a clear picture of just how car drivers look at those of us on bikes.

[captaindk]

The USA really needs this video on TV, so many drivers here drive blinded.

[jaycraft1]

Fantastic! We need more public service spots like this in the US.

[kingzmenknights]

yeah, it's hard for drivers to see bikes since everyone's so used to locating other cars and not bikes. it's always good to drive carefully. :)

[GetLucky9]

GET EVERY DRIVER IN AMERICA TO WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!

[flytraps]

I'm going to link to this video whenever possible. Thanks for the clip.

[Chzyrider]

This is one we need on American TV

[captaindk]

I agree, seriously. The drivers here are mostly blind.

[mmh1986]

amen!!!!!!ive had so many close calls! please yall look out for us
