well the police and the insurance would say that you should never ride too close for the conditions< however is the police officer at all a contributing factor here, in my opinion, a bad place and in bad conditions

His speedo shows him coming back from about 100mph, so he was a prat for being too close and a prat for that sort of speed in fog

Not the best of plans doing a speed check in fog  :smartass:

Also not the best of plans to be going too fast in fog either

Funny how one bike stopped and the other didn't, a lot of factors there maybe, and on rider ability to judge speed and stopping distance, and why didn't he just go round the stationary bike ?? :wacko:......but fancy having a camera on your speedo !! :shocked:

That was filmed on the IOM on the mountain road where there's no speed limit.. They were filming different scenes to edit together to make a safety video...  :yes:

Hmm, if there's no speed limit, I wonder what the purpose of the speed check was for.
