Funny, that's not so far away from me. I had no idea there were hill climb events near me.  

 

 

Kurt, you are only about 100 miles from this event, one of the best from what I can gather:

Seen exactly that happen to a GT3 at Goodwood, he blamed it on oil on the track, yeah yeah.

I imagine that launching a long 1st geared race car (with no TC or LC) can be tricky to control. Surely there is no real excuse in a Porcshe GT3 with TC and LC though, my bet was that the misguided driver switched them off, thinking they are somehow better than the computer.

Judge Kurt re-opens the case.   It's a merge lane Nev - the biker's waiting for the truck to pull out. He's being courteous to the truck driver which I think is the right thing to do. The woman should just have slowed down to find a gap, not push the biker into oncoming traffic.

  It's the 15 second before the merge lane that causes the issue. He is in the overtaking lane (going very slowly (much slower than the lorry in front) when he should not be, thus blocking the woman behind. 15 seconds is plenty of time for a bike to pull in behind the white lorry and let the woman behind overtake.   The issue starts right at the beginning of the video IMO and only manifests itself at the merge lane.

I'm with Nev on this. The biker is the dick. Like most bikers.

Meanwhile - back to youtubage. The German football manager scratching his testicles then sniffing his fingers on national international television.

Blimey. Looks like the vxr at 2.13 took a full roll.

I'm guessing this is Pete VXR29.

This has to be the most insane video I have EVER seen. Initially I thought it had to be speeded up, but on closer inspection it "seems" real. What do you think?

I can't understand how these people stay alive for more than a day.

I'm with Nev on this too.  The biker stayed in the outer lane and dropped back from the lorry at the beginning at which time, knowing that the lanes merged he should have kept pace with the lorry and pulled in.   Although we can't see her, he must have been aware of the woman driver and her car approaching.  From that perspective the slowing of the biker at the beginning looks almost deliberate.  He was on a bike hogging the outside lane and didn't pull in well before the merge when he had the opportunity.  Let's face it, when lanes merge, if your riding/driving properly you get in lane well in advance, and the biker didn't.  The woman was in the wrong to pull up on the inside but the biker was responsible for creating the incident.

 

I've had similar things happen to me in the UK.  Lanes merge, you get in the merged lane well in advance and move slowly forward and then some tosser overtakes everyone in the merged lane and tries to force their way in.  Personally I never let them in.  I've even had someone in a Range Rover try to do it to me when I was the only car in the merge lane and the road behind was clear.

 

Police deliver instant karma to bullying driver.

 

 

Yes, the woman in the car was being a bit of a knobber, but the motor-biker was in the over taking lane when he wasn't overtaking anything. If you look at around 17 secs, there is a massive gap between him and the next car ahead. I expect the woman wanted to get past and was understandably frustrated.

 

I think the biker was technically correct to be angry at being bullied and undertaken, however that's what happens if you block the flow of traffic by selfishly hogging an overtaking lane. Recently I sat as a passenger in mums car up the M4 and even after 50 years of driving she still sits in the middle lane unaware of the traffic she is unnecessarily bottling up behind her.

 

I also think people who wear cameras can be somewhat over-righteous sometimes.

 

Judge Nev decrees: 70% woman's fault, 30% bikers fault. This court session is now closed!
