Cool new UK "Think Biker" Advert

[SANGER_A2]

The UK government is pretty good at trying different things to get cagers to notice us delicate bikers out on the roads. There is a new advert giong around I thought I'd share with those of you not fortunate enough to live in the good ol' U of K!

An older one, aimed more at the bikers but also really good is:-

And just as a random, warnings/signs addition to this, I've attached a pic of a "Bikers Beware" road-sign I saw on a tour and had to photo. I'm not sure what it means, whether it's aimed at cagers saying "there are bikers around, watch out", or at the bikers saying "you lot, be careful". Or maybe it's a threat towards bikers!

Either way, it makes me smile!

EDIT: attachments doesn't seem to be working so I put it onto my Photobucket!

they have the "To die for..?" signs, and I always think to myself, "well it is an awesome bit of road..."

I saw that advert a year or two ago. They obviously don't play it enough!

The Ducati one or the "Think Biker" one? I don't watch too much TV, but the first time I saw it was two weeks ago! Maybe it was on a while ago briefly and they brought it back.

I remember this being shown a while back, but I think it's great that the UK take this seriously :thumbup: I've also seen local UK vids premoting biker safety.

tbh i thought they didn't play them anymore due to budget cuts etc, i saw the "think tom" type one last year


also don't forget the police run a highly subsidized road safety course, bikesafe. It's around £50 for 2 days, I'm doing mine next week :thumbup:

i'm looking forward to being chased by a police bike :rockon:

The Think biker one with the names above their heads.

I've seen the Ducati one way more times though.
