What an idiot. From the preview I knew it would be bad, but that could have turned out so much worse...

Or a cyclist, or a pedestrian or another car.

Idiots like matey boy featured here are one of the main reasons I rarely ride on the roads these days.


I know,not good,I have seen traffic lights lying in the road,lamposts and that BMW parked in the bed shop,after a wild weekend,and no it wasn't moi.

Did you report it? Always do, especially when you've video evidence. It may not always seem worth it, but we must demand that these things are at least acknowledged by the police.

If whats been alluded to above is right. Mummy might not like plod coming round to let her know her cars been driven round in a way thats likely to increase her insurance.
Hell, if he was my lad, even if the car was his, he'd get a clip for bringing plod to my door!
If nowt happens, you've lost nowt?

Time to dig the road up. That way he meets the bucket of a JCB next time.

Unpleasant but your reactions and the road layout kept it 'no contact'. Hope your riding gets incident free in future, 4 in 5 months is too many.

[QUOTE 1842996, member: 9609"]The way the engine was still revving as he was coming to a halt suggests he had dipped the clutch before getting to the brake, so not only was it appalling driving, this lad is still struggling with realy basic stuff.[/quote]
Or the inside front wheel lost all traction, something you'd expect with understeer like that. This effectively unloads the engine & it revvs away. Everything happens in about the right order & time gaps for this to be the case. Before I got an LSD for my rally car I used to do that all the time. Turn in under a small amount of power to keep tension in the chassis but spin the inside front.
