Totally - I can’t believe that after riding about 100k miles in all weathers/conditions I get taken out in a supermarket car-park at walking pace and end up with a steel rod in my shin!?
There is documentary evidence that people become more alert and competent drivers when speed limits are lifted (e.g. autobahn) - the highly regulated nature of our roads lulls people into a false sense of security and erodes their sense of personal responsibility and leads to the kind of stupid low speed errors that have put me out of action.
Good job they hid his plate in the picture, everyones gonna stuggle to pick his pan european out in box hill carpark when they’re looking to push it over and set fire to it lol…
i always make sure i over take people like that on the back wheel anyway. so my plate would be safe from view.
you could easily get out of it though. you could argue that he was doing much less than the speed limit. he isnt using official police timing gear and he isnt a policeman. so its worthless.
What a bell end! Leave dressing up as a policeman to little kids. What’s wrong with these people who ride around on beamer & pans pretending to look like coppers - Join up for real if you want to nick ‘fellow’ bikers !!
I bet bike speeding DVDs arent the only thing he submits to the police. I’d lay money on the fact he’s there every Monday morning with a whole collection:
Doggy’s doing doo-doos on my verge (4mins)
Neighbours having noisy sex 1 (camera through curtains evidence) (2hrs)
Neighbours having noisy sex 2 (camera through hole in wall evidence) (1.5hrs)
Neighbour punching me in the eye (live assault at 3am on a ladder outside his house) (1min)
Now now people, I think you’re doing him a dis-service. I was always taught you shouldn’t mock the afflicted. If you do meet him just talk gently to him and if possible pass him the name of a good clinical psychologist.
Just another sad simpleton who believes that 100% road safety could be achieved if only people would stick to the speed limit. After all, “speed kills”, so slow must be safe, mustn’t it?
