It would be fair to say that having to pass down the nearside of a correctly positioned on coming car would count as being over the line even to a liberal democrat ::)

What that video doesn't show is the carnage that followed... doubtless the car swerved in reaction to meeting the first bike, which would put it squarely in the path of the second one :-\

Common sense has to prevail, crossing is going across but if we even touched it on our advanced course it was a fail.

Coincidentally I watched a slightly longer version of this earlier and it clearly showed the second rider to have pulled up to check on the other rider. Rider number 2 was fine, luckily for him.  :y

Ah yes, here it is. No sign of the car though.  :-\ Perhaps he thought stuff him.  ::)

Thankfully, both of the other riders stopped safely.  :y

Glad to see the lad go away with it. nothing more reckless then getting his corner set-up wrong.  :)

What`s that smug git in the day-glo jacket on about then ???
So they`ve bunged up a few cameras & even more evil looking speed boards, so how does that make a safer road then. I`ve seen a bike destroyed by the bloody poles they keep bunging up next to the tarmac. That`s not a safer road.

Obviously doesn't know that if you need to lean the bike more in a corner, just apply a bit of opposite lock on the handlebars.  :) :) :)

Given he is apparently unscathed, he might go back for another go. ;D If that's his zx6 at the end propped up on the fence, it might even go.
