    How far apart are the dotted center lines from each other? looking at my window at NZ ones they are 5-6 meters apart.

    I counted about a dozen of them between where the bike straightened up out of the corner and where the cop turned around where the passing lane started, that would make it about 60 meters give or take. Not the most ideal position but hardly on the blind corner.

    Would have been more exciting if they did a runner

    The CBR was never on the wrong side of the road .... he was in what appears to be a 3 lane road .... 2 in the direction of the riders & 1 going the other way ...

    Definitely not the best place to turn around especially as bikes were doing nothing too untoward.

    Maybe he just wanted to get on Youtube.

    I counted 12-13 white lines between the corner and where the cop turned. Driving home just now that seems to indicate about 100m. Plenty of time to stop.

    What blind corner? I just lost two minutes of my life watching that. He even waits for a safe layby before signalling them to pullover, textbook stuff.

    Massive fisheye on the camera lens, I thought it was two lane with two shoulders as the lane on the left looks smaller than the shoulder on the right.
