This looks really bad. Doesn't say how the rider is, and hard to know how to avoid if you try overtaking more than one vehicle at a time...

The video says the rider was OK, suffering whiplash and bruising.

Can't tell if the bike actually makes any contact with the car so the driver was probably completely unaware as he obviously doesn't use his mirrors!!

Even so he would have the bang as the bike tumbled down the road so probably thought Crap! I'm outa here!!

Lets be careful out there people !!

This one was done on purpose - the scumbag driver is still in jail awaiting trial and the authorities are looking at linking him to a load of other hit and run incidents.

His name is Crum BTW - seems appropriate!

Only comment I can think of is the way the VW was tailending the other car would have made me twitchy it was about to go for an overtake

Overtaking more than one car is always very risky. You should make your intentions clear to the car in front before making your move.

Agreed, but getting drivers to look in their mirrors is always a difficult one!

I agree, neither of them signalled their intention to overtake. Looks like the biker grabbed a big handful of front brake.

Nice Stoppie.

Love these dashcams. :)
