    Don't run up the back of a cop

    Oooopps
    Was that the F word I Saw
    Cant blame him Cage drivers just getting more stupid.

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    I think the officer needs a louder exhaust and a brighter high vis.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Saw a similar thing the other day, car in front of me bumped into the back of the blue commodore next in line in front of him. Both pulled over around the corner, policeman got out of commodore and picked up his ticket book from the back seat before wandering back for a chat.....

    Another classic example of Hi-Viz "cloak of invisibility" in action.

    The scary thing in that video is the 4WD nearly shunted the motorcyclist right into the path of the oncoming car. Yikes!

    Pfffft, the cops can knock riders off but not the other way round? Spoil sports! Was just a little love tap XD

    Nah jokes aside could have been worse if he had pegged it. That driver would have been looking right for a gap a little bit prematurely.
    Could have been a truck in front of him and would still have hit it with that kinda driving/impatience.

    Only traffic accident I've had was doing that after a car started to pull off, but then changed their mind, so I can relate to their stupidity unfortunately (although I was rolled back into as well as crawling forward, still my fault).

    Yeup, had that last year. Only I saw it coming and rolled forwards a little more, so when I finally got tapped I could keep it upright.

    Not a nice thing looking in your mirror, the driver isn't looking at you, looking off to the side instead and rolling forward. As I pointed out to the driver... that car you had to give way to? Yeah, I had to give way to it as well!?

    Yeah, snap. Mine was on a downhill off-ramp from the A1 near Stevenage, heading onto a roundabout. Car in front starts to go, I look right to see when the next gap is on the roundabout and take my foot off the brake to roll forwards....CLUNK...

    Typical Perth driver!
    Had one run over a bike and drag it and the rider for 300m before stopping to see what the noise was!!!

    He is one of the plain clothes cops on phone patrol - looks like he's too plain clothes!
