Nil out of 10 for observation

WTF ! The worlds gone mad - I dont know whats scarier - watching the clip or reading the comments of the general you tube community - (you and I ride amongst them).

Both driver and rider need prosecuting and re-educating as to how to position their respective vehicles. I really do evaluate more -  other road users as a a consequence of looking at jerks like these.

If there were a few more traffic cops out there clamping down of these  ers then there might not be so many road fatalities.

Which driver do you mean and why?

Mecki, you're either stupid, or stupid, which is it?

I reported this to the moderator as a personal insult.
Since I am sooo stupid and don't realise that you are the moderator and therefore allowed to insult members on this forum. 

What is wrong with you, that you constantly have to insult me?
Are you still sore because I wrote that people who feel having to put an old dog down is as bad as the death of a child shouldn't adopt pets?

But if you think you are so much smarter then you may be able to explain to a stupid person like myself which driver of what car or truck did something that would justify prosecution Mr  man?
Maybe I am really stupid or just ignorant of the road code because I can't see any wrong-doing of any of the drivers in that clip.

Assuming you are not joking, I suggest you have a look on your lunch break at the Highway Code & possibly book yourself in for a retest.
The clue is in the photo.

That pic says it all really.

Both drivers oblivious to their positioning and the signs (double white lines, sharp bend marker)

[mecki]

Looks like we were talking about two different clips.
I was still on the one with the idiot running into the back of those trucks.

Still no need for insults.

Maybe the guy on bandit in first clip took Mecki literally!

"The later you brake, the longer you go fast"

(Oh cripes, now I've done it)!

Taaaaxxxxxiiiii !!!

Well I,m sure he did!

Too Close
Recent DSA trained riders do tend to ride in middle off their lane and turning in early is a common "mistake" also IMHO. The fact that the white line was worn away on the cars side of road is another clue.


Two Lorries
He wasn't looking far enough ahead and checks his left mirror because he didn't understand why Fiesta with hazards on was slowing down. Lorries could have done same and kept there brake light on. Yamaha Fazer 1000 has R1 brakes so should stop OK...I was shown a good braking lesson, remind me in June :-)

Using good descriptions and changing subject line can be v helpful...
