Stuntman-like roll executed there.
Not much of a crash, by the looks of it.

New speedbumps don't seem to have deterred the bellends then frown

It has to stop otherwise with the Police's new powers it'll be shut down sharpish

That was impressive! He was lucky to *just* miss those railings.

Not indicating is one of my pet hates but both are as bad as each other tbh.

SMIDSY as an excuse becomes halfway reasonable when the oncoming vehicle's headlight is pointed at the clouds. Crossing a roundabout.

In the Youtube comments a guy says the car driver says he was indicating.

Must have those special bulbs that use black electrons, give out black light, with black glass and a black indicator cover.

There is a single small flash of amber from the front *right* at the point of impact. Nothing at all at the rear.

stupidity on both accounts, looks like the 3 series driver was about to start power sliding the car.

Much that I would like to side with the guy on two wheels (well one really) the BMW was already on the roundabout and regardless of the size of said roundabout, are you not supposed to stop before entering.

You do see a lot of tts on scooters these day and I fekin' hate the ones that try to take me out when I'm out on my bike. Different breed, get a proper motorbike or get a Citroen Saxo with a massive exhaust.

I wonder if he has learned a lesson for he was lucky not to hit anything as he bowled down the road.

You aren't supposed to stop before entering, but you are supposed to give priority to anyone already on the roundabout. I don't think the lack of indication from the BMW was relevant.

I fail to see how that was anything other than the bikers fault.

The BMW was well on the roundabout before the bike was anywhere near. The biker was showing off going much to fast onto the roundabout and couldn't stop.
