Six30 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 judging the biker ?? what cause he didn't turn round and chase the idiot driving the coach. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Apart from driving on the wrong side of the road I thought he handled that rather well. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I thought he did pretty well! Could easily have panicked and there would have been a much worse outcome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 WTF was the coach driver thinking?! The biker handled it really well and managed to avoid being killed so a winner for him. Suspect his trousers may have needed attention afterwards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run! The rider did well to react, the coach driver was a nob. The rider would have been slightly better placed to deal with the situation if his positioning had been more Roadcraft influenced, perhaps.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Rewatching it again, I'm impressed the rider had capacity to use the horn. At that stage I'd be so absorbed in avoiding the collision that hitting the horn is the last thing I'd think of. Of course on my better days I'd have gone for the gap between the coach and the truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxie49 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) FFS!! Fair play to the rider, kept his shit together and avoided what could have been a serious RTC ..... Hard to believe that bus drivers are allegedly classed as "professional drivers" on insurance proposals, there was f--k all professional about that stunt, don't understand why some people were judging the biker?? job well done on his part....

fastbob Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 If the numptys in the cars had overtaken the lorry one at a time miles back the coach driver may not have resorted to such a long and difficult overtaking manoeuvre . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double yellow lines , so im presuming no over taking, cars,bike bus whatever, what should of happened if anything is lorry driver pull over if he could to let build up of traffic pass.

And it didn’t look like he was riding a BMW RT so that makes it most unlikely. Edited March 18, 2021 by Steve_M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
