The above video proved to be quite contested between me and my housemate. I say it was entirely the cars fault, he says it was the bikes fault.
well your housemate is right. the car had began it's manouvere whilst the bike was behind another car, so htf could he be expected to see it. correct me if i'm wrong, but the max speed for that kind of road is 60mph, so travelling in excess of 50% of the limit you have to exercise EXTREME caution, not just blindly go for the gap. finally, the bike had a good second to start braking, but he ploughed on through.
RLAC is all well and good, but not all the time, and not in amongst myopic car drivers.
