If you haven't seen the 'Perfect Day’ Motorcycle safety film that appears on TV from time to time, you can now view it online here (http://www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk/campaigns/motorcycles/download/perfectday.mpg)

Although written for Motorcyclists, it is every bit as applicable to MINI drivers.

Some nice roads in Scotland are featured as well.

It is a big download, so broadband users only.

Oh! - That's odd, it is a big download though, about 18.6MB if I recall. It played fine in my browser using Quicktime and I was able to save it to the hard drive and view it in the Movie Player on my Mac.

Try some of the other links on
this page then (http://www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk/campaigns/motorcycles/motorcyclesmedia.htm#video)

Edit:
Just noticed the other links are a different campaign though, sorry.

Works fine for me, although i right clicked, and saved target, rather than opened the file.

And yes, its a clever ad, for all road users!

You can't argue with the video and the message, especially at this time of year.

I'll download it then ;) 1.1 Mb/sec connection :cool:

Yep, very apt, wish we could have it though ;)

I agree, very clever and lots of food for thought.

Caught it on TV a couple of times. Thought it put across a great message.
