Interesting, they obviously wanted to nick him with all the coppers around.

I'd imagine it's driven by:

Just down the road from where I live, it's a notorious weekly biker gathering and usually has plenty of police cars knocking about.

You can hear full chat bikes for miles around if it's decent weather on a Tuesday night, amazed there aren't more accidents and can't help but think its days are numbered as it's just too obvious to anyone with a pair of ears living within 10 miles of it that plenty are taking the piss. Shame as it was probably a good meet until too many idiots turned up.

I'm from this area and a biker too. I try to avoid Bassett's Pole on Tuesdays after the one time I went there was awful. Full of Barry Big bks Bell Ends with Big Bellies hanging over their colour coordinated leathers. That mixed with the chav nutter balls on illegal quads and popping and banging on their 125s.

There's always a decent police presence on hot days as they know it will be busy. Silly of that quad fella to try to scurry off like that when the police pulled up next to him.

Sorry about Facebook link but WTF.
For a start driving a car with a headcam on? Breaking and swerving into a wall and rolling your car when there was room to pass.
Edited found YouTube link.

Could have been really nasty, perhaps our HGV guys can explain if there is a way to handle this, get out of it. The road train driver doesn't seem to be going excessively quickly

Drive to the conditions, have decent tyres. Looks to me as if speed was the main cause, back started to overtake the front. Bit like a spin in a car?

I would put money on that having completely bald tyres on the trailer.

Doubt it, very rare for a company with container contract to be anything but squeaky clean. Not impossible though.


If you look at 10 seconds in, you can see that the back axle of the drag has been raised to improve turning circle. That means that it most likely unloaded and would lock up very easily on wet tarmac downhill.




Sort of driver, sort of speed and sort of one of those things IMHO.

Lock the fking lot of them up.

Turn up mob handed, block the roads and drag them all down the nick, then crush every single one of those bikes and quads.

Needs to be stopped.

Grrrr

[i]A motorist has been banned from driving after he was found guilty of causing a serious crash by driving without due care and attention.

Ryan Vincent, 33, from Holbury, tried to undertake a car on the A35 heading out of Southampton when he lost control of his car, resulting in a major crash that closed the road in both directions for hours.
Footage of the crash, from a dash cam, was shown in court and we are releasing it today to show just how serious the consequences can be if you do not drive with due care and attention at all times.
It was only sheer luck that nobody was seriously injured in this collision. It is not worth the risk.[/i]

Yeh no doubt another fast and the furious type with less than 1.6mm on his tyres at last MOT who drives like james bond in the wet and blames the car when this happens!

I'm in two minds about the Yaris v BMW incident.

Obviously the BMW can't be completely blameless but all the Yaris driver had to do was brake in a straight line which he couldn't manage.

Maybe the MoT history of the Yaris gives a clue:-
26 March 2015: Pass, Advisory: Nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit
14 April 2009: Fail: nearside front tyre tread depth below legal requirements
and offside front tyre tread depth below legal requirements

Given the reaction and time to take do anything I would doubt that the driver could be held responsible for the condition of the tyres 15 months ago let alone 7 years ago. That said, I would not be surprised to find the tyres marked with "Ditch Finder"

It would be a bit harsh to hold him responsible for the tyre condition 5.5 years before he owned it, or even had a licence.

Didn't find the vid that clear, (visually), so do I understand the Beema undertakes the Yaris, so I am wondering why he lost control?

beemer was overtaking another car coming up to a crest and couldnt see on coming cars. soon as he sees yaris instead of backing off he continues the overtake attempt and the yaris driver slams on the brakes and turns to the left??? which is how he ended up smacking into that wall

The video is very clear, are you are attempting to view it using a pocket calculator from the 1970's? The BMW (Beema ) is on the wrong side of the road during an overtaking maneuver and rapidly heading toward the Yaris. Yaris driver brakes hard, locks up and the car veers to the right. I can only speculate but the driver probably tried to correct by steering toward the left backed of the brakes at the same time, causing it to snap back the other way.

I think Vipers is referring to the Peugeot video where the E36 BMW undertakes it on the dual carriageway
