Totally agree, good advert, however, having replayed it about 5 times the car driver only manages to pull forward about 5" when he is hit by the bike so even if he hadn't moved the bike would have hit the bonnet..(so a bit of artistic licence used for affect).
My point is.. bikers should on approaching junctions (& where possible) position themselves in the centre of the road to make themselves as visible as possible, ease off the throttle and make eye contact with the car driver i.e. make sure they have seen you..unfortunately because there are so many d*!kheads out there, you have to look out for yourself.
Being right doesn't make you any less dead..
