If that Mondeo damaged something when it swerved to avoid him, the driver wouldn't have been able to provide details of the car that caused it
This. Although you'd hope a black Ferrari leaving a private event wouldn't be too hard to track down if he/police spoke to the circuit, I'm sure they wouldn't be best pleased with that happening on their doorstep either way.

No, a full circle would mean he exited on the same lane he entered. He actually did approximately a 300 degree turn.

i'd say that was all pretty much guess work wink

so why didn't the rider offer the numberplate etc to the merc?

i guess if that did all happen then the rider escaped with his life
It did happen. It's all about observing the video properly. wink

If you look from 10.01, you'll note that the biker hits the car's wing mirror on purpose. Biker overtakes renault, merc and another merc just before the pedestrian crossing/lights at 10.11 - also note the lights have gone green at this point with no obstruction in front. Driver then chases the biker and hits the final merc (tries to squeeze through the gap between lights and merc and hits the merc's right front bumper - this is the only real 'guesswork').

Biker does a 360 (or 180, 720, roundabout u-turn, round the world, whatever the hell you want to call it) and encounters the same cars in the opposite direction a full 15+ seconds after having overtaken them. The merc involved in the incident has moved 10 yards in that space of time with no offending car/driver to be seen.

Link again from about 10 mins onward: https://youtu.be/3tCNI4I95Vo?t=596

ok - muppets wink

a degree is a measurement of an angle (rotational) and there are 360 of them in 1 full rotation

the bike makes a 180 degree turn based on his original position (started facing one way and ended facing the other way - half a full rotation or half of 360 = 180) and it does not matter if he drove in a circle to achieve it or span on the spot.

what he actually did in simple terms was this...

imagine the roundabout is a square (90 degree right angles yes?) and you have to travel on its edge



as you approach the square

turn 1 - left -90degs (cumulative -90deg) ... travelling along front edge
turn 2 - right 90degs (cumulative 0deg) ... travelling up the left edge
turn 3 - right 90degs (cumulative 90deg) ... travelling along back edge
turn 4 - right 90degs (cumulative 180deg) ... travelling down right edge
turn 5 - right 90degs (cumulative 270deg) ... travelling again along the front edge
turn 6 - left -90degs (cumulative 180deg) ... now exiting the square from where you came

to make a 360 turn..... oh you know what.... i'm not going to draw anything for this! haha. imagine the second hand of a clock with its pointer at the end. if its at the 6 o'clock position, what way is the arrow pointing? down not up yes? what way is the biker facing as he enters the roundabout at the 6 0o'clock position?? up...!! aaargh!!

hahahaahah!!

he made a 180 degree turn and he did this my riding 90% of the way around the circumference of the roundabout

That biker is a moron.

In other news, it's surely s 180 if the direction of the bike is opposite what it was to begin with. Like north / south.

haha - observing the bit that was not captured on camera and the only real guess work is the accident wink

i'm sure that is what happened but where did the other car go? i call conspiracy theory. There was actually a cloaked motorbike to the left projecting an image of a car full of angry meat heads heading towards an impact ... all to cover off the fact the cloaked motorbike actually launched a missile at the merc to take out its 3 pointed star that stands for guiding the driver in a free western society - teehee (9/11 conspiracy theorists will understand that)

Wow - ph has reached new levels.

Sorry don't get it.

Could you explain using a dodecagon?

....if you'll note, all of the people on the roundabout ARE making a 360deg turn (just to confuse matters)

We've had the 360 argument regarding roundabouts many times. The problem being, there are two ways of looking at it.

- The degrees that the front of the car turns through
- the degrees around the roundabout (i.e. track the car with a compass from the centre)

With option 1 a full trip around the roundabout is 180, with option 2 you are drawing a complete circle (360). Both are correct.

Last one is pretty interesting. No idea what the car driver's problem was, but from that point the biker becomes intent on getting past him just to "prove a point" then goes past a couple of other cars at pinch points
Biker is a knob, likewise the tt in the megane. That said a more effective response from the biker is a swift downward strike of the gauntlet on the wing mirror and off, not that I condone criminal damage.

That's a very protracted argument, I can see you have come at it from all angles.

Are you trying to be acutely obtuse, or obtusely acute? biggrin
