I’m not sure how the car driver is clearly in the wrong in the advert. There’s not enough context to show what is happening, unless it’s being based on the assumption that car drivers are usually at fault.
The video doesn’t even make sense, the cyclist looks to be riding alongside when the argument starts. When they are shown seperate it looks like the advert is trying to portray that he is riding along a side street?
