    Or seen one too many videos of couriers doing crazy sh!t?

    I thought the move round the white van was dodgy but going for that gap was totally mental.

    at least he didn't jump any red lights (as far as the footage shows) - this would have really annoyed a few peeps on here :lol:

    as it is the idiot is lucky to be walking away from that one. Hope he is held accountable for any damage caused to either of the other vehicles involved.

    I know exactly what I'd like to say, but I'd prob get banned:D
