Bit of a wakeup call, hopefully.

BREATH IN

That's what happens when you ride like a c--t!

Ride safely.

reminds me of these Russian chumps

What an utter c*ck.  I bet he had a go at the lorry drivers for not letting him 'filter'.  Think bike......Think Moron.

Where was this? He's riding on the left hand side but the comments are all in Polish or Dutch or something?

No sympathy. Very lucky it didn't end up a lot worse.

I think it just a foreign page that has got hold of the video. A bit like when the Czech Skoda guys post up pics of our cars

Very lucky boy...

Definitely Britain, you can hear him swearing in English.

Hopefully if in Britain then British Law caught up with him,

& not for Careless Driving but Dangerous Driving.

Sadly, that's unlikely. In the "Rozzers" thread, an officer has clarified that having the footage is only a start and you have to take statements and confirm who the driver was before there's a remote chance that something could happen, unless they've witnessed it - than it's all different. But, for starters, the road upon which the incident happened isn't identified, and (as per the "Rozzers" thread) it can only be reported to a police station in that area.

 

The best you can hope for is he learns the lesson from the incident and realises that just a layer of leather does not make you invincible.

 

 

Correction:

It's the Vandals thread, not the Rozzers one.

He should have aimed for the hard shoulder, there was time.

Poor obs, and too fast. You could see those trucks for ages

and that's on a 4 inch screen window.

In real life I don't see how he could miss them.  

Lucky not to be dead or as they say on BCF 'potatoed'.

It was in the UK, there is a better quality one somewhere on the form I posted about a year ago (needle in a hay stack). Rider posted his own longer footage highlighting what a tit he was out of shame. It was all over the web at the time and there was some Police interest expressed. For some reason it has made a reappearance recently on youtube mainly with people posting it as just happened with 2014 dates etc. 

When i said about him feeling the long arm of the Law, i did not mean from the Evidence of the Film in Court, but that obviously would effect the Enquiry by the Police in putting forward their report to the Prosecutor.

 

There were plenty who witnessed his riding previous to the incident which can hardly be considered an accident.

& then the Collision they came about due to the manner of his riding.

It is not Police Officers that are required to witness law breaking or Traffic Offences, well not yet.

 

So rather than what an Officer on some forum Confirmed something on Video Evidence or not,

The Video from the person on the bike and also possible Video from other road users.,

which pretty much anyone already knows about  that watches Police Real Life & badly Edited Police programmes.

does anyone know if there was actions taken and any prosecution ensued or is pending ?

No hard shoulder.

 

I suppose he could have gone for the road edge either side, hard to tell how much space was there. Probably not enough and probably hard to steer if he was on the limit with the brakes.

Saying that he just about made it, wonder if he could have braked more? Didn't appear to be doing a stoppy at the end.

That's what I kind of meant, I think he could have braked more too. 

It's like the lucky idiot on the M4 this morning who forced me into the central reservation at 80 mph narrowly avoiding the crash barrier in order not to side-swipe him.   Why are the police never around when these ******* decide to illegally "split the lanes"?

Until they learn to behave, ALL motorcycles should be banned from motorways altogether.

What a retard

Panicked and froze up, concentrated more on the impending impact than trying to avoid it.

Why were you doing 80mph?

 

So to reply using the same broad strokes of the extra wide tar brush you used.  

Do you really think anyone on a motorbike goes around trying to shove cars out

of the way? Crashing a bike hurts. Every single time. And anyone who rides one appreciates 

that fact. He could see a way past and you panicked because you didn't see him until he came by. 

Probably because you were driving at your limit by doing 10mph over the speed limit.

 

People in cars who speed should be banned from motorways altogether, especially those

who are of a certain age and don't check their near side mirror when driving in the outside lane.

Nothings going to appear in the other one is it??? As you said there is a central reservation there

and if he overtook you on that side you'd have swung into the middle lane into whatever it was you

were overtaking, (presumably why you were in the outside lane in the first place?? And if not why were you there?).

If he had passed you on the right you would still be slagging him off so what was he supposed to do?  

 

 

Oh and filtering is legal... Maybe you should read up before posting.

So, if I am doing 80 and retard splits the lane and undertakes (both of which are illegal and dangerous) that means matey is speeding too, no?   In fact, plonkerchops was doing close on 100 mph - way too fast for this sort of "game" (which is exactly how he saw it).

In fact, if my speedo is reading 80 mph, I am in fact doing 73 mph which is sort of okay.   However, you seem to consider the "leather clad idiots'" speeding acceptable - presumably because he doesn't have a front number plate and the "L" plate flapping in the breeze (again illegal on a motorway) obscuring his number plate makes it impossible for cameras to catch the little effer!   

"Lane Splitting" is illegal, "Filtering" on a motorway is legal in certain circumstances in slow-moving traffic (the legal definition of which is unclear, but likely to be considered by the courts at 30 mph or less).   In fact, if a motor-cyclist has an accident on a motorway whether "filtering" or "lane-splitting", not only will his poor body end up worst, but the courts are likely to consider it his fault.   For your information, there was an HGV in the nearside lane, a Railair Coach in Lane 2 and me in Lane 3.   The motorcyclist attempted to overtake the coach in Lane 2.5  and undertake me in Lane 2.5 with insufficient gap.   Railair Coach couldn't move left, the only way to avoid a collision was for me to go right.   The reason I did this was precisely because I DID check my nearside mirror, otherwise motorcyclist would have likely been "Brown Bread".   Before you cast any further stones about my suitability for motorways, I am a professional Coach Driver with a full International Certificate of Professional Competence and Operator's Licence.

The fact I am a professional coach driver means that, although a bit shaken, I carried on my journey in a calm, unruffled manner.   I am definitely purchasing a dash-cam now that shows both front and rear views so that, if nothing else, the antics of these jokers on two wheels can be made public. 

The dangerous way both cyclists and motorcyclists are behaving, particularly as you get close to the capital, is appalling and needs curbing!

One thing escapes me. Why two wheels should have any other rules than four wheels? Want to go between two lanes of slow MOVING traffic do it at your risk. Actually do not do it at all, rather scrape against concrete central reservation walls or the like at your own leisure without forcing others into misery due to your stupidity born from impatience and arrogance. Normal traffic rules too boring for you, beneath you huh?

Instead of "another" motorcycling website giving an opinion on their own interpretation of "the law", would it be possible to demonstrate where in law "20+20 (although depending on circumstances this could be a little bit more)" is. I'm not being confrontational, but given the amount times "other websites" get mentioned when referring to the Law, it would be nice to see the Law itself.

 

 

The thing I find most irritating about "filtering" is inconsistency. When in static / slow moving traffic, I'm quite happy to move over to give a gap to allow motorcycles passed (usually it's the offside, between lanes 2&3), where the irritation comes is when there's a couple of "special" ones who want to filter through on the other side to where their bretherin have chosen to go. This usually ends up with the "special" ones getting upset and thinking cars are deliberately blocking their progress, whereas they've chosen to traverse a more difficult path in the first place.

 

The other thing I find irritating is a complete lack of manners: an acknowledgement (especially once we're beyond filtering) that a gap has been deliberately opened, especially for you, would go an awfully long way. A wave of the hand or, as seems to be "the way", a wave of a leg does much to show your appreciation.

Target fixation.

Got warned about this when training. Don't look where you're crashing, look where you won't crash.

Bet this guy had some epic chicken strips on his bike too. It was dry, front wheel should have been chirping.

 

Still if he hadn't been riding like a cocky arse it wouldn't have been an issue.

The car driver following should have got out and kicked his head in. What an arse, and they say think bike. There are a lot of good riders out there and t***s like this are giving them a bad name.
