Lovely BMW drivers

Now I understand why drivers do their best to run over roadies. Some just really deserve it.

You have idiotic views about road cycle safety therefore I just assumed you must be a roadie.

Overreaction just a little? I'd love to believe that the person who made the video is something of driving guru who has never made a bad pull away, got in front of someone or generally been annoying on occasion but the reality is we all do from time to time. To err is human, to make a video of it to try and make and name a driver making a common and explicable mistake is being a duck. To report it to the police? Thats a whole extra level of duck-head.

Quack.

Check out his other 'bad driving' videos, the rider is a moron.

Briggo

Just watched it, what a rubbish video. 5 mins of him riding around with 30secs of actual action but even that was pathetic and happens, no one died the driver didn't do anything with any mal intent.

I want my 5 mins back.

pesky_jones

yeah he seems like just another busy body. I don't like the video of him ripping apart that spider to feed his Venus fly trap. Funny music but cruel. Reminds me of snapping turtle vs rats video. I won't post the link because it's pretty horrible but you can YouTube if you want

Fack me, just watched his other videos.

"He overtook in the rain on a double white line" - Well actually it wasn't it was broken and people arn't allowed to overtake when it's raining? New one on me, does he have an updated Highway code that we don't or something?

Another super hero with a cam.

Dear all,

This thread is being locked by admin and I appreciate it.

And yes, he did feed a big spider to one of our carnivorous plants.

That motorcyclist is a douche who has just spent a fortune on a go pro and is trying to get some use out of it, or more likely chasing an accident down so he can claim. What a complete knob, more surprisingly I wouldn't be surprised if that video can't be removed, is he allowed to detail people's registration numbers like that?


Just another thought is it kowalski?

benpinnick

Why would the admin lock the thread? You asked for opinions and you got them.

Stevo_666

I finally took a look at this thread seeing as it had so many posts.

That bloke should never ride in London or he'll die in a fit of rage. If that's all that happened to me when I pedal into town and back a few times a week I'd call it a pretty uneventful ride.

Would it have made things any better if the driver had been in a cheaper/less flash car?

Yep, she's been around long enough to understand the perils of that! Plus it sounds like the guy is her bf!

I had a pm to say the the thread was being locked, I replied to say fine, I know it's always dodgy asking for opinions from a complete load of nutters. I also sent another pm to VN to say it HADN'T been locked only to be assured that it was.

That was yesterday. Hey ho, it's still live so fill your boots. I won't quote comments that i consider to be abusive to someone you don't know. Yes he has both a GoPro Hero 3+ and a Ghost Drift, do I smell jealousy there?

And yes, the guy on the motorbike is my other half, OMAHB, who I happened to meet on here and kidnapped him. At least I didn't end up in a ditch in Rhyl, (with one l), with my head on backwards.

Someone who gets so upset by such minor things isn't going to last long on a motorbike.
I have had bikes for around 15 years and the most important thing I learnt is drivers make mistakes and do stupid things, learn to expect it and be prepared for it. Chill out, don't get wound up by it and just enjoy the riding.
Im guessing that if he is riding a 125 he hasn't been riding long and has a lot to learn.
Putting videos of such minor indiscretions on the net achieves nothing except making him look like a complete tool.
What going on with the video of someone overtaking him? He was going a bit slow so the car safely passed him. Why get upset about that?

I appreciate what you say, and yes, it is a 125, the thing is that after having lost a few friends to motorbike crashes, the reason for having the camera is that "I knew what happened"

I disagree that they are "minor indiscretions" the prat didn't even look before pulling out, Si was doing 20/25 tops, if he'd been on his road bike he would have been doing a lot more. With regards the overtaking, you kind of need to know that road I guess, bendy as hell and not safe.

Jealousy because he owns a GoPro 3 and a Ghost Drift?

Right o love.

If you don't want people to voice opinions on something, don't post it on the internet.

What I would love to see is the clips of him fooking up, but I doubt we'll ever see those.

supersonic

I don't see any reason for it to be locked here. If you want a more reasoned discussion (ok, one with no insults as I'll remove them) then repost in the Hub.

The consensus is pretty clear though. I didn't even know what I was looking for as a considered it that minor, I carried on watching expecting a big incident but four minutes of nothing.

I lost friends to motorcycle accidents as well, one of the reasons I don't ride superbikes any more and don't treat roads as race tracks. It's a tough way to learn to slow down.
Posting videos like this on the Internet will achieve absolutely nothing.
Just learn to predict what people might do and be ready for it. Avoiding accidents is a lot better than videoing them. Video evidence won't bring you back from a fatal accident.

You didn't get much love from the roadies either did you, does that not tell you something.

russyh

I am all for chucking the book at dangerous drivers, but frankly this is a ridiculous thread. The only jealousy I can see is of someone that has made a point of playing to the 'BMW' driver stereotype. If it were my car that you had plastered the reg number in a slanderous style all over the net with out I would probably seek legal advise.

Human beings make mistakes, accidents happen. It's not like they want to knock a motorcyclist off now is it!

rockmonkeysc

Hate shouldn't be directed at BMW drivers, save it for Audi drivers and Orange riders.

russyh

I ride an Orange and drive a volvo. Even my children hate me.
