Looks okay to me maybe if the guy was doing more than 24mph people wouldn't feel the need to overtake. And that exhaust is quiet, he should take the baffles out.

blimey NTEC, that video is insane. Anyone who rides like that on an open road (regardless of country) deserves whatever situation they get themselves into. Only feel sorry for the people who get caught up in their carnage!

That`s not such an unsafe overtake. Loud exhaust and he went wide so not to intimidate the dawdling cager.

apart from the word SLOW painted on the road which indicates the speed for the road should probably be slower than the signposted limit.. I'll admit to having overtaken dithering cars in 30 limits (usually because they're fannying around with their mobile or radio and simply haven't seen me) but the overtake in that video was too much... and he carried on gunning it once he had passed.

Guy got stopped on the A12 this week doing 132 on the section that is a 60. He will it said, be receiving a court summons - hm, you don't say.

Does he not watch Police Interceptors?
