Default Don't do this.

Hope it's not a Hitlervid.

Weather will be getting better soon, Sunday bikers will emerge from hibernation, don't do this.

Oops.

Rider tried to sue driver? What for I wonder...

Driving on his own side of the road in a careful enough manner to avoid killing a plonker perhaps?

bit unsure about the 'reporting' of this story, no info on location or when it happened, other statistics, expert opinions from local police/safety groups etc. Literally like a journalist found the video and decided to run a piece on it for the Metro.co.uk or something…

update: sorry for bringing the name of the Metro into disrepute… just seen this was on the BT website. I would like to make a formal retraction...
