Very lucky , but the guy as he rides on is filtering like an Idiot in  my book , unless it just looks as if he is going fast because I am viewing it on the lap top.
[/quote]If you look at the speed the pedestrians walk across the road after the stop, it's almost Charlie Chaplin.  It looks like the video is being speeded up for some reason.  Might be down to most of these small cameras record at 30 fps but we use 25 fps.  No, hang on, that would slow everything down??  Perhaps the camera is set correctly for 25 fps and Youtube is playing back at US standard 30 fps......

Lol, no rusty, the pedestrians and traffic speed up because, I double timed the speed in the edit whilst waiting for the red light, once it goes amber it changes back to normal speed!

The Fazer horn is pretty weedy tho. When I've tried to avoid being killed by a car driver it just sounds so feeble.  :o

camera angle or not the filtering looks soo dangerous. You wont get a second chance if you hit anything stationary.

I have watched several such vids, one comes to mind is from  "royal Jordanian". Very entertaining, but us old hands are quite happy leaving the young guns to do it all. We are still alive !

I just ask myself ..is it worth risking your life for ?? :\...its really just a tit for tat game .You got pissed at the car driver for jumping the lights, you just want to get one back.

10 minutes on in your life , look back and ask .... has anyone achieved anything worth such a risk ?

I obviously didn't otherwise you'd have seen me either banging on his windows or he wouldn't have a wing mirror still attached!
As for the filtering you best not watch my other videos, or visit London on a motorbike!
