There is some merit in that, car drivers tend to move out of the way much faster when they see some flailing madman flying at them at warp speed.
I got knocked off in 2011, busted shoulder/ribs/wrist, the van driver didn't see me, but it's unlikely he, or any other myopic van driver would be coming onto a bike site to see 'think bike' videos either, post it on Pistonheads, see how much they appreciate it.
