Undertaking - the reason why not to do it

[cheadle hulme]

Lol - my *last* bump? Cheeky!

I've only been knocked off once, but that was near Trafford Bar station in Stretford... it was Tharg who was knocked off near here, up on the bridge.

LOL I knew somebody had come off there!

Apart from just not undertaking a long vehicle, I think the fact that if you have undertaken it, you'd probably have smacked into the cyclist in front might have been a factor too....

I thought this was a career orientated post advising against becoming an Undertaker.

Don't tell me stuff like that - I might just be working on the land next to there in about 5 years...........

TBH....

I thought Sh4rky posted this as it's a typical move an in experienced cyclist might make - not him - thought it a very topical post given the current campaign...... and that was just today's commute.............

Im tempted to take the old cam for tommorows return commute via the Waterloo Bridge and company.

Do it...... why not..... TBH some of the footage you cam folk can get is good to shove in one place.... (less the language)

A dig at my other vid, Foss? I was trying to figure out how to bleep it out... but gave up and showed it in its "full glory".

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

It did seem to fit neatly into the current campaigning of "DON'T UNDERTAKE" so I thought I'd cobble it together and post it.

Great quallity video and audio. Much better than some of the other stuff yoiu see posted on here, I think it could actually capture number plates much better.

Bit of a numpty bus driver all round - particularly the nice use of indicators pulling out and then again when he pulls in ,so you can know in advance what he's intending to do.

I'd have drafted it a lot closer and then been much wider when he slowed, able to see what was happening ahead. Tis a nice cam set-up!

but the Spidey Sense said not to go.

not great on manchester roads though, especially when that pot hole suddenly appears from under the buss right in front of your wheel.

I'd undertake less often if there was more space on the offside, but on some roads I find that all the drivers put themselves right on the centre line and leave a nice big gap on the left.
