Just saw that old european commercial where the guy in his car pulls up to the intersection and looks both ways only to get t-boned by a bike... It was re-shot and americanized, but same exact commercial. I'll post a vid tomorrow, if I can find it.

Score one for the good guys.

It probably has something to do with the recent campaign against "distracted driving".

Honestly, I don't think the commercial will do a damn thing. But, it's better than doing nothing.
