Bicycle Safety PSA1- The Deadly Right Turn

<><>

The deadly right turn kills and injures more bikers than any other misadventure on the road. Sharing The Road means developing a sense of caution and cooperation that leads to a fluid peaceful coexistence of bikes and autos. The message in this 60+ second PSA can be summarized simply: Signal, Clear Back, Turn Right, ShareTheRoad. PSA1 is the first in a series of six PSAs to be produced over the next six months as the ShareTheRoad Productions PSA Campaign. The video may be posted (unaltered) to any site or used for any educational purpose. Contact us for web or broadcast quality digital files.

Bicycle Safety PSA 3 - Stop In The Name of Love

PSA3 is a story of arrogance and tragedy as our road-tested biker flies through stop signs and stop lights in his own little universe. Finally he gets his due and meets Elvira. More than a metaphor, she takes him to a new world as he tumbles through the intersection of right and wrong. It's a sad tale that must be told. lowell@steigerlaw.com www.steigerlaw.com
