You can either hope that the drivers "Think once, think twice, think bike"
-- or you can know that you are invisible and you need to avoid the drivers.
The drivers are far better than those in the '60's, '70's, etc.. But I still do not trust them. It only takes one in a thousand to not see you, and you are dead.
AFAIK, the video is pushed by car insurance companies, since it they who pay out the big money. They care about the averages and their bottom line. They want fewer motorcyclists injured and killed. They don't care about individuals.
I live in Western Australia, and I swear you could wear high visibility everything, have flashing beacons and neon signs, and you would still have a fairly high chance of being hit by a cager. I really have NO idea where some people got their licenses. Basic things like yielding to traffic to the right (we drive on the left hand side of the road!), maintaining a safe stopping distance between you and the vehicle in front, checking blind spots and signalling BEFORE changing lanes, not talking on the phone or texting while driving... These are all things that we are taught, but some conveniently forget when they turn the ignition key...
I think we are missing the original poster's idea here. The intent of this video is simply to make people think about cagers and bikes, I thought it was a good video and have it saved now permanently.
