Arse. I checked the f2f front page, but not page 2. Oops.

Must have been in my blind spot. Note to self: do more lifesavers. On a positive note at least mine a a YouTube.

From the first time he says poop it still looked like he had plenty of time to stop or even go left onto the hard shoulder. I bet he wouldn't have been riding "aggressively" like that if he didn't have a camera.
Re: wot a wolly. - simonm - 05-08-13
Seemed like a pillock from the get go. From the weaving to the fib that he couldn't brake in time. No one in their right mind would try to filter two trucks at speed. I feel sorry for him but wot a pillock, lucky not to be flat.

I'm just catching up on here after getting back from my holidays but the video from the original thread has been "removed by the user", so I'd not seen that before.
The guy is an idiot, weaving through traffic like that and he had plenty of time to brake, so I have no sympathy for him ending up flat on the road. He's just lucky not to have been more seriously injured.
Re: wot a wolly. - Kosmic Kartman - 10-08-13
I reckon he was filtering about 65mph judging by the speed he was passing the lampposts. By the time he said the first "shit" there seemed no reaction to hit the breaks or even take avoiding action and plan a new path. Panic and riders inexperience, inability to read the road and traffic ahead, as well as a bit of target fixation got him in trouble... as well a riding like a total wanker beforehand.
No sympathy whatsoever.

The question is WHY post the film that shows you to be a pillock as this one does lets face it all other things put to one side how the hell did he not see two bloody lorries in the distance and adjust for them ?

Quality! Thought he could have pulled up myself there but hey, wasn't me riding with my cat like reactions and forward observation skills!
