I'm 47 pal but if you're stereotyping that Gen Z/Millenials think that cars and drivers don't come first and that roads are to be shared then go ahead and call me one.

As a driver the stakes are higher for me when I make a mistake compared to being a cyclist or pedestrian and therefore a greater responsibility lies with me to be attentive and considerate. That video tries to absolve me of what would be 100% my fault.

Should pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers all pay attention because mistakes will happen? Of course? You can run an education campaign that doesn't victim blame which is what this ad does - it places equal onus on both driver and pedestrian when one is following the rules and one isn't. They could have easily made a video showing an honest mistake by the driver or of a pedestrian jaywalking at the wrong place to show the consequences of not paying attention.
