I like it, I especially liked it showing the short amount of time it takes to wait for a cyclists to pass as well as a good illustration of how much a different a light makes where visibility is concerned.

This should be "sticky-ed" somewhere on CL.

I got a little angry when one woman said "I don't think they should be on the road..."

Great Video, nice to know the cops are looking out for us, but totally unrealistic as a driver. Even if it rains or snows your can hardly see out the window and personally I always give drivers the right away because I know most of the time they are not paying much attention. If anyone expects drivers to be taking bikers into consideration then you are making a big mistake.

I completely agree. We should always ride under the assumption that drivers cannot or will not see us.
