RantMachine Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Well that guy doesn't have nearly enough of a death wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yep......it does show quite clearly how quickly a situation can change.... TBH I would never have attempted that overtake as the view wasn't anywhere near good enough........he was sitting on the crown of the road which reduced his view further.......and also bear in mind that the camera lens gives a distorted view.....making things look further away than they really are..... He got lucky....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGD217 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 The Crumble is a legend though. Fair play to him sticking it up and acknowledging where he went wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yes, good for him posting that. If he had moved to the kerb side before deciding on whether or not to do the last overtake, he would have seen the truck and not gone for it.

Tiggie Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 just hope he doesn't get done for reckless driving The police charged the guy who came off at the cat & fiddle and posted the video as a warning to others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 just hope he doesn't get done for reckless driving The police charged the guy who came off at the cat & fiddle and posted the video as a warning to others He had an injury accident that damaged others property (the fence he went through) and so it should have been reported to the police. This one was a miss, a clear mistake and is not reportable. I hope that distinction makes the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 I Wouldn't have gone for that overtake either but we have all done something stupid before Good on him for posting it up and admitting fault and showing his mistake to others I also think its good that he talks you through it as it may help some people understand how quickly it can change etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
