Near Miss Thread

Post by EasyRider »

I know many of us have now got cameras on our bikes.
And we must see many near misses out riding.
If one happens infront of you, post a screen shot photo.


This happend infront of me the other week.
The guy on the SV650s was very lucky.
Its a 50mph road and the SV just came out of a bend.

I’ve had people beef and flash me for taking my time to pass a slower road user in the car. And for exactly this reason, you don’t know how close the thing you can’t see is.

How does the popular phrase go?

Oh yes, ride it like you stole it.

Absolutely… do I feel sorry for them?

The two on the stolen bike were in Norfolk not the Peak District. Having seen the video that’s worthy of a report to the police. The driver of the white car needs to be prosecuted.

I don't watch this type of video. They make me feel sick, peed off and scare the living daylights out of me. They are the worse horror film you can watch :o

Unfortunately YouTube is full of them, not my kind of thing as I’ve dealt with too many RTC’s in real life.
