great video on breakdown of an overtake gone wrong.
Discussion
I know it's a youtube video and bikes but this is very relevant to car drivers on this site too as we are likely to partake in more overtakes than the average road user.

to me bikers are taught to stay in the mirror view of the car infront with the lights on, however the mistake was not getting to the far left of the road to see round that corner when behind the blue rav 4. That all started from the previous overtake that put him out of position to make the best judgement call for starting a seperate overtaking manouver. fair play for putting the video up we all make mistakes on the road. Youl learn more from that than any successful overtake without incident.
