I'm not sure who the target audience is, tbh.
Is it the cab driver who nearly runs over the schoolkids, or is it the schoolkids who throw chips on his windscreen?
Is it the woman in the convertible who's just tried to drive into the woman on the bicycle, or is it the woman on the bicycle who's managed to stop in time?
I assume from the cyclist vs ped segment that the target there is the pedestrian who almost got turned into paste by the oblivious chap on the bike.
Doesn't this basically just say "somebody has endangered your life, but it's terribly important not to react to it in any way because other people shouldn't ever be requested to examine their own behaviour"? And we should all just accept terrible, terrible driving, because... well... why? That's the bit I don't really get. Because it'll make us feel better? "Oh, some cunt in a taxi almost wiped me out, well, no point in being upset about it, taxis will be taxis, lol!"
What?
