Default What happens next?

I found the following while clicking "related videos" after the bikesafe video posted on the org sometime last week.

So, what happens next? (answer is in this clip as well as the build up).

Easily guessed, given the road it's on, but still.

Also shows very bad riding on the part of the guy with the camera IMO.

The camera guy doesn't really understand braking distances it seems...

Nice little vid, but yeah, spot on Muffles - the camera bike (and the one I'm presuming is the instructor) seemed to be oblivious to the potential hazard that the learner had spotted (said something about it being clear to overtake just before the "learner" slammed the anchors on) and was a little too close to comfort on the brakes himself.

Suspect the north wales contigent have brains more finely attuned to sheep wanderings than us mere mortals, last time I went up there I came close to collecting a sheepskin rug or two of my own.

Goats are by far the worst around here. Sheep are 10 a penny.
