I'm impressed.

Hang on, where's the patronising bullst?

Can only assume Brake had no input into that.

10/10.

No pointless moaning about speed, stats telling you about killing squirrels or anything, just pointing out real hazards and forcing you to think with beautiful footage.

[black-k1]

Excellent!

[Prof Prolapse]

Jesus wept. Informative, possibly effective, and attempts to promote local roads which may actually assist local tourism in Scotland?

I'm literally speechless.

[Mothersruin]

That's brill! Well done them.

[catso]

Very good, does make you wonder if it's just a trick to get you to go there and then reap the rewards with stealthy camera vans though...

[WinstonWolf]

Have I entered a parallel universe? That's spot on

[vonhosen]

Looks like a rehash of this.

That's excellent. Really positive reinforcement without being preachy. Top job.

hope your comments are genuine

i was involved in one of the "focus" groups - i assume its the same project i was involved in

They have to be seen to be doing something, in the last couple of years they have had an abnormally high number of KSI over the NC500 route and surrounding roads.

Route becomes popular, lots of people travel from far and wide, some run out of talent on unfamiliar roads ....no different to whats happened
to popular riding roads in other parts of the country. In 5 years time these roads will be labelled "dangerous" like the others and no doubt 50mph avg speed cameras put up.......

[Jumpy Guy]

Very good. I wonder if Wales and NI follow suit?

Musta got a decent ad agency with all the money they've raked in with minimum pricing on beer the bds.

Good advert though. He almost looks to be speeding. Well done. Dunno what it changes but we'll done.

That's brilliant!

No sanctimonious whining about keeping to speed limits, just some sensible reminders and great scenery.

Shame Scottish roads are so far away from me (and I haven't got a bike at the moment).

[jjones]

It's good.

Maybe some more people could "thumbs up" it on youtube??
