[Simpo Two]

No doubt this subject has cropped up many times in the the context of road users, road safety etc.

I just wanted to post this fine example of what we're dealing with...

FFS it's just a set up video for clicks like 99% of stuff on Tik Tok and Farcebook

Can't believe the people with no common sense who think it's real

You seem to specialise in rather sniffy replies.

Yes it was meant as a little quip re the thread title, maybe the OP had a whoosh moment

What I fell short on was cynicism, not common sense. I get involved with amateur film-making and dramatics and it looked entirely authentic to me.

However if we live in a world where everything is assumed to be fake, it doesn't bode well I think.

I think that ship has sailed! But you didn't really think it was authentic did you? As an expert in amateur dramatics

Yes. Lots of people hold their phone that way round when filming!

The video is clearly nonsense, but to the wider point, haven’t you noticed that common sense is not that common. There are a lot of morons in this world.
