Why you shouldn't slap cars

[mr_cellophane]

Looking at another of his videos, he can't control his bike very well anyway.

If I came off every time a car passed me by 8 inches I'd be in A&E most weeks.

 

[smokeysmoo]

and this is why you shouldn't balance on cars at lights

Keep your hands on the bars. Braking and steering is more important than slapping a car.

The man's an idiot! ... though I feel sorry for him that he hurt himself when he fell off his bike.

Again with people judging.

"lost control due to the BMW's close proximity' so nothing to do with him slapping the car then?

Seems to be a lot of camera wearing morons about this week, is this going to get worse?

 

[Dan87]

he could have prevented this by breaking and keeping his hands on the bars. shame he was injured tho.

cameras are not going to stop cars passing so closely.

What a nobber, not that I haven't done something similar.

Is that a slight on some of the forum members?

TBH it doesn't even seem the car was that close, that sort of pass happens all the time. After he passes the parked cars, he's still sitting in the middle of the road. Instead of slapping the car (which doesn't seem to be doing a great deal wrong), why isn't he indicating which way he's turning at the top of the road?

I've no problem with slapping cars that come too close* but once they're in front, as that was, there's no point. I think he overreached himself in making one but it's easy to criticise when watching a video in the warm with a cup of tea. CTC and YACF forums leathered me for tooting a punishment pass at the knob who attacked me; the '200-miles a day for 86 years and no incidents' club.

I agree with you, trouble is this forum (and others) seems to fill up with perfect riders whenever they see said videos.

Does being a forum member put people beyond criticism?
