He (I assume) is trying to keep his front brake disc dry

[Rawwr]

Well he seemed to get through it.

[MrB1obby]

Kudos to that guy!

[Conian]

Always a danger of the front wheel washing out on slippy roads, problem solved!

I was wondering if to keep engine electrics out of way (but that would seem better with slower speed) . But keeping discs dry does seem sensible(ish)

[Globs]

Yes, textbook perfect.

It's actually illegal and he's (considered by the law) to not be in full control of his vehicule. I disagree, but then there are other laws I disagree with too.

[Wacky Racer]

I'll keep my thoughts to myself....

I did think that - not sure whether he be pleased or miffed with BBC publishing it.

Absolutely the best way - as the tyre surface area in contact with the road is less, there is more weight acting through the rear wheel so less risk of aquaplaning.

Nice, the police should be pulling the guy behind for only having one headlight working.
