Cyclist Turning Right
Two young BMX-ers nearly come a cropper in this short and shocking cycling safety film.
Overview
This short and shocking public information film warns of the dangers of turning right when cycling in busy traffic. The film is redolent of a distant, more carefree era with its energetic, floppy-haired boys, breezily touring the streets on their colourful BMX bikes. Made for TV, it's typical of the kind of safety film that aimed to scare kids across Britain out of their more reckless habits.
