Definitely good to watch that. My son might obtain his car license end of the month. We are told on such lanes where there's no barriers in between like on A1, at uncoming traffic near side lanes to ride in waves, like S shape, so that you will be detected as best possible.
Worst thing a young driver did out here, seeing 2 motorbikes, men going home from work, 1st one blinks to turn off main road, but second one doesn't and wouldn't! Young driver thinks "they're together" and takes off believing they will both turn the bend, just that number 2 doesn't and dies at the spot.

A very powerful film.

I like the ending when it goes on to emphasize the need for advanced training for riders as well, so not laying all the blame on the car drivers , we as bikers have to take some responsibility for our destiny and do our part by riding more defensively and control our speeds in the more populated areas and save our test tickles out riding for track days

A great thought provoking film that should be made part of driving test revision.
Spotting bikes, in built up areas, has not been made any easier by the invasion of bollards and traffic calming obstacles.
