Look, Look, then Look Again

The title belongs to a road safety campaign in the UK, stressing the need to take longer when checking the road at a junction, and this video shows exactly how right its creators were.
The idea behind the campaign was that motorcycles are harder to spot on the road because of their slim profile, while at the same time, the drivers misjudge the bikers' approaching speed and by the time they enter the junction, the bikes could already be on a collision course.

The video shows the Lada driver stopping at the Give Way sign and he most likely did not stop for nothing: however, after first checking to the right, then to the left, he fails to observe the incoming scooter... which traveled just the right distance meanwhile.

A quick look to the right again could have definitely saved the day. Thankfully, it looks like the rider made it without serious injuries.
