This is basic stuff.
No spit, Spurlock, but that's not what the video seems to be about. The title and the bell sound effect, and your comment about people being oblivious would all indicate dissatisfaction with the people's reaction to the bell. And speeding it up gives a really fake impression that these are all absurdly close and dangerous passes.

And I'm a "passing on your left" guy. I think bells are stupid, but that's another thread.
