Now this is a close shave. Hory shet!

[Road kill]

WTF happened there?! Was there a corner or something I missed as to why the ute was on the wrong side of the road?

The Ute was on the wrong side coming out of a minor corner.
I've had a car hit me in exactly the same manner when I was driving my car,clipped mirrors but put mine straight through my half open drivers side window and into my face.
Wasn,t hurt bad but scared the hit out of me,,,,then I had the same thing happen on the same corner about a month later when riding my bike, but it was as I was coming out of the corner this time and the car driver "not the same person" was setting up to enter it by first swinging wide onto my side of the road,,,only missed because I took action.
This is why I still make referance to locals cutting corners on Awhitu rd on the way up to the top of the South Manukau heads.
I like firearms,,,,and I do have my private fantasys

So who was riding? The video looks like it was from NZ.

Looks like Riffer! Not his bike though.

Actually, that video might be in NZ. Riding on the left side of the road and the black Hilux has what could well be an NZ plate.

To avoid a rabbit maybe?

One of the problems with a camera is that it only has one view on the situation.

Spot on i reckon,stupid Aucklander in a 4wd swerving to avoid a rabbit,imagine the mess it would have made.
