Safety
I agree that safety is an issue but heres my take on the worlds view, think of it however you want.
Some people dont give a shoot about cyclists because they're associated with running red lights. Some people dont give a shoot about car users because they're associated with speeding and killing people. Some people dont give a shoot about bus drivers because they're associated with pulling out in front of whatever comes up behind them. Some people dont give a shoot about pedestrians because they're associated with walking out on a road in front of whatever vehicle without looking. Some people dont give a shoot about the police because they're associated with,,,,erm,,,,,,,,,not giving a shoot!!!
We live in a crap world ruled by people who dont give a shoot.
Although what Magnatom is doing may seem good, it wont make a big enough impact unfortunately. Take street crime and problems with teenagers for instance. There are thousands of police officers on the streets yet crime still rises and problems with f-u-c-k-wit teenagers seem to be growing. Why?? Because they dont give a shoot!!
I think Magnatoms campaign, although impressive, is a bit like trying to weld a new metal panel onto a rusty old car. The damage is done.Its went too far before someone like him came along.
Perfect example, I am not that old, but when I was young I had a football glued to my feet at the age of 10. Today, most youngsters are robbing people, breaking bus windows, calling people all sorts of names and generally running amok. No respect!! I would have got leatherd for what they do.
Its true what another user said today. Try injecting humour into the vids and showing good as well as bad. Balance it like he balanced the telly interview.
Okay, so my vids on Youtube have a few swear words in them. But I tried my best not to point out any individuals whilst getting a point across about problems and showing the world what its like to be a bus driver. Had bloody good fun makin it too with ma keyboard.
So far, touch wood, I aint had any problems and all my comments have said the stuff is true and that they are funny.
Christ, to try and bridge the ever increasing gap between cyclist and everyone else, am tempted to do a song about that gap. Any ideas, let me know!!!
Can only wish Magnatom and his family all the best and hope there is no problems after the sh-it hes already taken.
