Make your own mind up whose fault it was ?
jesus fault…
Car drivers fault .
Tricky one.Technically, or legally, it is probably the guy coming up from behind who is at fault.
Bloke bearing down on them at 140mph I’d say.
Car drivers fault
you must always be able to stop in the distance you can see to be clear ahead
Bloke who crashed into the ‘slow’ bike was to blame. That section is the mountain mile and the fast rider obviously gave it the beans without reading the road ahead. The camera bike made allowances for the ‘slow’ rider so why couldn’t the fast rider who was further back? I’ve ridden the mountain and there’s all manner of knobheads riding like that. Unfortunately it’s innocent riders like the bloke who overtook the car who suffer. In 2012 I was riding the mountain mile at around 120mph which was quick enough when a bloke passed me by about 6 inches on a GSXR at I reckon about 150mph plus. He was wearing jeans and trainers.
That would appear to be the common sense approach 
Don’t understand why the white bike decided to overtake there…what’s the answer Rusty?
I saw a car … tis his fault
What’s the question

This one Rusty. Whose fault would you say it was?
The biggest problem with the mountain is the difference in speed. If you are not on it get well over to the left out of the way. There will always be someone coming through and it’s not just bikes. They have clamped down so hard on speeding around the island once people get to the mountain all hell breaks loose. 
The rider who moved out should have stayed in and if the other two riders were going to slow down that much they should have got out of that lane.
The fault is 100% that of the rider on the white bike who crashed into the rear of the slow overtaking rider.
The slow overtaking rider should have been overtaking far quicker for his own point of safety so as to avoid being on the wrong side of the road for as short a time as possible. But that does not apportion any blame to him in this scenario.
Also he should not have pulled out to overtake at that point, as the video bike was already overtaking. Slow overtaker is obliged to check for overtakers, as well as on coming traffic, before pulling out to do his own overtake. Surely that is CBT lever stuff. He could have caused a separate accident by pulling out into the path of the video bike.
However, the speeding white bike was undertaking the video bike, who was already overtaking, so the speeder was wrong for doing that. If the slow overtaker had mirror/shoulder checked first, he would have realised to stay back behind the car, and the speeder would have cheekily gotten away with a dodgy overtake.
This is on the Mountain at the IOM there are no speed limits and no oncoming traffic. You take your life in your hands going over there. The general rule is if you are not going for a Quick run get out of the way.
although if you are going for a slower run, being behind or in front of a car is a pretty good place to be.

At an inquest it would be the white bike rider.
My question is why the slower rider almost stopped as he overtaking the car, what did he see that made him slow ?
Bloody hell!!!
Completely the fault of the speeding rider! poor bloke on the slower bike, that must’ve really hurt

It’s hard to see if there was anything that would have caused the slow rider to slow right down, the footage is quite blurred. What are we supposed to spot?
Isn’t it the white bike’s fault for lack of forward thinking and then ramming into him? The slow bike didn’t need to overtake if it was going that slow anyway? And didn’t the white bike undercut the camera bike as well, and caused him to slow down?
