    Please post the view from inside the white car.

    What if you little 'boot hitting, nothing to see here' wobble ended with you on your arse and underneath his car. That would be a memorable Xmas for all wouldn't it?

    From his point of view it probably looked like you were about to run wide given the strange line you took.

    And if you're gonna try carving a corner maybe ya should put your toe on the peg so ya don't give yerself a fright?

    Oh and merry Xmas..............

    Nothing dangerous in that, you were not even close to the centre line.

    Looks to be at least semi residential? Were you exceeding the speed limit?

    Choose your time and place, that isn't the smartest. Screw up and you're landing in a car, they cut the corner and you're also in trouble.

    By your actions, you are reducing your opportunities in a "what if" scenario.

    Attracting unwanted attention is a good indication that you should slow down a bit or at least get a quieter exaust.

    An opinion, too close to the centre line, no margin for error, theirs or yours. Too fast, I saw 80 indicated. Posted speed limit was?

    You should always be mindful of using a camera in your defence, they have a habit of proving you wrong.

    Google Maps ... Portobello road, Dunedin.

    The harbour on one side, cliff faces on the other (if you don't clobber a car first) He wouldn't be the first biker to chuck his bike in the drink ... in Dunedin. (on either side of the harbour)

    That area is 50 km's as I recall.
