On ITV1 now. Looks like a barrel (roll) of laughs.

and does that biker with the camera crash every time he goes out?
No wonder the Merc ploughed into the back of them...
The Citroen actually stopped and flashed, which although wrong in the eyes of the HC, most people accept as a give way sign.
I think the instructor however, was aware his student had acted improperly and had stopped him to make the point. The fact that they then got shunted is entirely the fault of the driver behind.
But still, must be a cost-effective way to make primetime telly, by just trawling youtube crash vids.
Of course, the biker totally ignored the "Slow down" markings on the road AND the double white lines which he shouldn't have crossed anyway.
and, he should have anticipated a vehicle coming the other way. Sorry, but the crash was inevitable whether or not the car was there.
I've read a fair few biker forums in my time. Apparently, double white lines don't apply to them, only to "cagers", as their increased mobility and reactions allows them to cross them safely.
As we clearly saw.
Many of these accidents seem to be down to a mix of neither party paying proper attention or care, reckless speed and disregard for other road users.
I always assume that I share the road with other people who are just as prone as myself to making a mistake. None of us are perfect. Touch wood, I haven't been in an accident with another vehicle yet, and I've had my car fishtail into a guide post once, due to wet leaves piled on a tight corner in the road. But then, I've only been driving for 8 years now.
