Found this through another forum, the rider has to be one of the luckiest/dumbest this day/week/month/year.

Yep, my vote for dumbest.......

Don't the double white lines forewarn of a hazard ?

Does crossing the double white line commit an offence ?

What a dick. You think the plod might prosecute for all the traffic offences?

Firstly I'd like to thank Jack Sanderson for providing to the authorities some excellent primary evidence to assist in his prosecution. There's enough there to get the ball rolling for a dangerous driving charge and therefore a mandatory disqualification. On the other hand if the purpose of him making this footage available for all to see is to open the eyes of others as to the ease at which you can lose your life in a moment of madness and stupidity then I applaud him.

Lets not forget of course the impact this will have had on the car driver, its fair to say that the innocent car driver will relive this for the foreseeable future over and over in their mind and they were also very fortunate to come away from the incident unscathed.

Mr Sanderson is one very fortunate individual and obviously he knows this. His comments, Here's Where I Started To Get Impatient", don't exactly help his case. Whatever the outcome may be for him, I hope he appreciates just how close he came to death and doesn't repeat it.

As for Alan Lloyd's comments, saying that Mr Sanderson isn't used to the road & not used to the corners & they don't know how fast they can go around them is absolute nonsense. IPSGA, works everytime!

If you want to do shit like that, get on a race track.

What a knob.

When I first watched the video in my OP, I actually jumped in my chair when the car came into view !

Having seen the full footage, I am not sure my first reaction would be to remove the go-pro from the bike and film myself walking back to the road, unless I thought it might be good evidence against me.

The only reason you would pick up the Go Pro is to get rid of the evidence, not upload it to YouTube for it go viral. Can't see him not go infront of the court

If you look at the guys other videos, you'll see he always rides like that. The Old Bill are going to have a field day.

He'll kill someone if not himself by riding with such disregard to the road markings

You have to ask what his motives are for posting the film

The question one has to ask is " would 12 average people in a jury think that is dangerous ? "
It will never get to Crown Court for Dangerous Driving for the very simple following reasons ...
1. Dangerous Driving can only be dealt with at Crown Court because of its severity in the Road Traffic Act ...
2. Taking someone to said Court, with Barristers and court time is VERY expensive for the CPS ( and you and me because we pay for it )
3. Is it in the public interest to prosecute him when there are no injuries and no other aggravating circumstances ie .. No insurance.
4 Could he be dealt with by any other means ? Yes .. At Magistrates Court for careless driving ... A much lesser offence which the CPS would be much more sure of getting a conviction for.

So, for what it's worth I don't think it will go very far. I MAY get it wrong of course but I think it's just a shit bit of riding with a huge dollop of good luck chucked in.
