Seen that a good few times but still amazes me. Did all 4 of them completely lose all they know about hazard avoidance as soon as the "Oh f*ck" flashed in to their heads?

That old baby of hazard fixation and some panic just wiped em all out.

Be careful out there boys and girls.

Looks like a change in surface to a road that's being re-surfaced, but is currently all gravel!

That's what I thought. Serves 'em right for riding faster than they can see, frankly. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt on the horrendous overtakes till then.

Think theres a sign on the approach warning of roadworks.

the amount of times i see bikers just flouting all road rules. Was out tonight on the approach road to squires from Sherburn which quite a lot of is now double whites a lot of the way. The amount of bikes overtaking on blind bends on double whites was embarassing. Its nothing to do with how much power you have or whether you can do it, its dangerous to not only yourself but to other road users as well.
