Just seen this and was quite surprised. It appears to be telling us that we can go out and enjoy riding but just make sure that you look out for hazards on the way and take appropriate action. A sensible road safety advert shocker! smile

It seems there rethinking there ideas of getting the message through to us. Nice to see they are putting some real though into it.

Is that ther one where they have messages all along the route the guy on the 999 rides, Like "I'm going to turn right without indicating" written on the back of the van in the mud? (I'm at work so I can't see it.)

If it is, I saw that a few weeks ago, I was really impressed. For once no "Think of the children!/puppies!/environment!/penguins!" ninnyhammering.

Brilliant commercial.
The Hidden Dip on the back of the Bus was a good one.
Its a very thought provoking clip, which is the best kind I reckon.
That will stick in my mind.

To be fair, they do seem to put a lot of thought into biker road safety stuff - the Think! campaign sponsoring the BSB, adverts like this one, free police rider safety lessons in most counties, etc. and not a hint of 'stick to the speed limit or puppies will spontaneously combust' nonsesnse.
