    Seems to have been influenced by the one that was on here recently from south of that border.

    Maybe the influences could cross the Sea(?)

    I wonder if the SG has ever thought of having a budget for cycle safety videos...

    Another quality effort from Norn Iron (even if there's one slightly cheesy nodding smile from the guy in the red car!). A proper mutual respect ad. Perhaps Scotland (and the rest of the UK should employ the DoE's publicity people to do things properly?

    NI DOE Road Safety adverts on #UTV. I know no other country in the UK that puts on such hard hitting adverts, truly shocking. Well done DOE

    I like Bez analysis:

    I definitely thought that the overtake shot would have benefited from mention of 'unseen obstacles' , potholes etc. And likewise, the point needs to be made that you should always look before opening a car door.

    But, much as i generally like Bez's analysis, I think he's missing the point. There may also be a case for the hardhitting adverts he wants, but this is a good message, which both informs and reminds.

    "There may also be a case for the hardhitting adverts he wants, but this is a good message, which both informs and reminds."

    I'd agree with that, though Bez also suggests that this (and others) doesn't actually get the message across well enough.
