The law should have stayed behind the guy until they could safely pass him to pull him over.
Should follow Germany's lead and introduce the autobahn over here
Your 1st point I agree with.
If the rider was riding in the correct position in his lane there wouldn't have been a gap for plod to pass on. If you are overtaking on a motorway keep to the right hand side of the lane so if some muppet pulls out on you it gives you more time to react.
Regarding your 2nd point it isn't everywhere on the Autobans without a limit, only on certain stretches. Near junctions, built up areas (noise), hills which makes for a large differential in traffic speed, danger spots etc it would be 130kph or less. In the short clip in that video there was a junction so on the German equivilent there would have been a limit in place.
70mph limit is a bit out dated, 80 (130kph) like in most countries in Europe would be sensible.
I've found the driving standards are much better in Germany, everyone tends to follow the rules.
The general standard of driving/riding in the UK isnt up to no speed limits
and where was the footage of the suicidal weaving in and out of traffic? All I saw was a bike travelling reasonably quickly (in fact, probably no faster than I travel along there on the bike) while staying in the outside lane.
Hear hear! I'm not going to start justifying this type of riding but agree with Rusty....where's this weaving and crazy riding then???
Probably in the other 7 minutes of video; Peter Clarke, 44, was seen in eight minutes of footage undertaking and scraping through small gaps on his powerful Suzuki.
