It's as well done as any such commercial can be, but it'll have no effect whatsoever. The reason people race on the road is that they're supremely confident that they can't make a mistake that can't be 'saved' in time, and that "it won't happen to me". Just go to any of the "squid" bike nights, and you'll have at least 10% of the participants that will happily show you their latest road rash and explain how they won't let it happen again because of...
