Clearly taken from the passenger side.

It gets a resounding "meh" from me.

Maybe I am being over sensitive, but with all the other drip-feed stuff we see that gnaws away and reinforces the 'fuck you' attitude on the roads. Who cares.

Who cares about a driver taking less care. A driver looking away. A mangled cyclist.

It is simpler than it looks.

However, the  driver does appear to drive straight over an unbroken white line at a junction without giving way -or even stopping ;)

Thing is; you're seeing that where we're not.

I care, and frankly I'm offended that you'd suggest I don't.  I just disagree with your interpretation of the advert.
It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

I don't care about a *passenger* in a car taking a photograph.  That's what's shown in the advert.
