To be honest he was an idiot.

The positioning of the car was set to pass the one in front.  Only a live organ donor would try to pass in that situation.

 I'd of been in the same positioning as the golf awaiting to overtake, however being an observant driver id of noticed a bike coming up my arse pretty quick and would of let him go first for he's quicker than me.

Granted an r32 is fast but B roads the bikes going to be faster!

I do also agree however that the bike should of anticipated this also so when two bad drivers meet an accident occurs!

Bloke also pulled out right when the bike was in his blind spot.

It's just an unfortunate combination of badness right there. 

F*cked if I'd let some biker come past just like that.  Weekend warriors can be a right pain in the backside.

Anyone with half a brain would have been able to see the golf was waiting to overtake the slower car.
The person on the bike should have paid more attention to the positioning of the golf and the fact that he was riding in his blind spot for some time.

as an EX biker  - you always ride with the view that everyones out to kill you. he should have seen that happening a mile off.  :rolleyes:

sadly, some bikers have bigger egos than car drivers and he was always lining that up despite having the ability to let it go, then dust it once he had overtaken.  :lipsrsealed:

Car driver should have seen him though  :whistle:

Fence well and truely sat on  :grin:
