More Th!nk TV Adverts

Be aware of motorcyclists and stop driving like a numpty

As an ex biker I think encouraging riders to act more responsibly would be a good thing. I often notice bikers doing stupid things as I live near a big bike distributor. They overtake on a pelican crossing near my house all the time and scream through the traffic lights at ridiculous speed despite being in a 30 limit. I also notice that when I go past the bike shop and these riders are outside minus helmet a lot of them are the wrong side of forty and should be more resonsible

Thats actually a cracking advert, no mention of speed being the "big killer". I was well impressed for both parts, actually makes you Think

Actually, I've just seen the advert and, apart from the fact that I think the bike hits the car, I reckon it's a good ad to remind bikers that they shouldn't be such pratts on a daily basis, given that they're the ones that are likely to come off worse in the event of an incident. I know it's tempting to ignore the rules of the road and common sense in order to get to the front of the queue, but...

I think tinted headlight covers (blue/green), and race pipes ought to be legalised...
