well that's a little bit scarey to watch, glad he made it. Had a friend once, he's dead now, did the same thing and it didn't work out, clipped a wing mirror.

Umm, he was on his side of the road and inside the centre line. The pass on the van isn't too dodgy.

Not the smartest place to be passing, but relatively inside the law.

Your kidding right?

Just another fucking retard taking excessive risks for the sake of a few seconds.

I have seen a few passing just like that. It is fairly common.

**centaurus** · 19th March 2010, 16:12

I'm sorry but I see nothing wrong with that overtaking. Yes, it's a bit close but it's not as dangerous as people make it sound like, especially that the guys looks like he is in control and he is not even going over the centre line.

And as far as rubbish trucks go, who is going to film them when they drive on the wrong side of the road around blind corners (here in Wgtn it happens regularly in the suburbs). I've had a few close calls on my bike with rubbish trucks because of that. Putting cameras on rubbish trucks to catch drivers misbehaving is the biggest hypocrisy ever.

That passings fine.

**Ronin** · 19th March 2010, 17:26

Coming back from wrong side of the yellow line is fine then?

Ignoring the oncoming traffic issue, the broken yellow no-passing is there to require that you complete your overtaking move BEFORE the continuous double yellow line that inevitably follows.

Appears fine from that regard.

Looks fine to me, Personally I'm not overly concerned with yellow lines if I can see the road ahead. The bike passes the truck, waits for the two oncoming wagons to pass, then the bike passes the car in front.

Yellow lines are just yellow lines. They indicate a legal compliance, and are not necessarily a good indicator of safety. The video looks a bit on the close side for me, but it's hard tell - might be my internet speed or the video quality.

There are plenty of places with yellow lines that are still very safe for a bike to overtake on.

The Takas have been pretty much ruined for bikes because of them.

You gotta be trolling....

Have a close look at Ronin's frame grab and tell me about the avoiding action the 4wd cager is doing coming the other way.

Now lets do a imagine.... lets imagine that you are the cager coming the other way, but you are on your bike and have to swerve to the left, over the shoulder marking, cos some retard in a cage is doing what the retard on the bike is doing? Is your opinion the same?

Read my post properly. I was talking only about his position in relation to the broken yellow line, not the vehicles around him. I dont troll.
