I might be over reacting here but for what it is worth I shall be
contacting
Ofcom to give them my tuppence on the matter.

Wouldn't that be the ASA?


ASA is print ads, Ofcom is broadcast.

Not amusing when you happen to know someone who was permanently
invalided in his thirties when thwapped on the head (by a wing mirror)
from a moving vehicle - while walking on the pavement.

How short is that guy?

Bus or coach?

This is one situation where I've been tempted to get a h*lm*t - a
"minor" incident that would easily lead to severe deadness.

I've been out of action for a bit (small hospitalisation incident,
nothing to do with cycling), but I've just emailed BMW about this.
Anyone who feels like doing so may like to browse www.bmwgroup.com for
such quotes as:

"We assume responsibility." This is the philosophy behind the BMW
Group's involvement in society and social programmes, which have such
goals as:
- Increased road safety,
- promoting understanding among peoples and opposing violence,

Racism and violence are problems which endanger social peace in almost
all societies. As a company with significant international presence,
the BMW Group regards itself as a global citizen whose task is
countering this threat

As an international company, we here at the BMW Group feel socially,
politically and ecologically responsible for everything we do,
everywhere in the world.


I asked them if any of this was true, or whether they really are a
complete bunch of lying hypocrites. OK, I was very slightly more
polite than that, but the words lies and hypocrites did feature.
