Bloody hell Paul.
This the road we took back to Pontypool at that exact time yesterday!!!!
Must have happened just behind us.

Poor bugger.
Yet another biker taken away and not his fault by the sound of it.

You've got to feel for the old guy driving the Range Rover too as he's probably in bits.
Mind you, it does strengthen the argument for more frequent driving tests above a certain age.

That is so sad,it's one thing pushing it and coming unstuck,but if the law's arrested the driver and charged him with dangerous driving there must be witnesses, chances are he was overtaking and our poor friend has collided with him.If that's the case or some other reason I don't "feel for the old guy" at all,fuck him,some of these 4x4 drivers think they own the road.R.I.P. mate whoever you was.

Nice follow up Steve.
A real shame that a genuinely good family man was taken away before his time.
I guess if it is your time to go there are worse ways........
