Guide Note: The Awareness Test is an advertisement sponsored by Transport for London as part of their "Cycle Safety Campaign". The video starts off with eight basketball players lined up in a row. The narrator then asks the viewer to count how many passes the white team makes. After a number of passes are made by both teams, the narrator then reveals the answer to the question - as well as something the viewer may not have seen the first time around.
