"THE big killer in all these films is EXCESSIVE SPEED"
that's nonsense, and irresponsible (in my opinion) if you are trying to educate new riders. You can ride very fast and be safe. You can ride very slow and be dangerous. Video number one is not riding fast (it's the only one I watched). Some riders (UK) ride slow in the gutter, and die as a result. Don't mislead new riders that speed is the over-riding cause of death to bikers. It's a very authoritarian and police-like stance, and likely to be ignored.
Speed is for the most part irrelevant on its own, it's usually a failure to ride to the conditions that causes crashes. And a failure to read the road and the hazards.
