    Putting aside the given examples there are a few places where it used to be legal and safe to pass a slow moving car up there and ohh like 2 days ago there were some slow ones.

    But soon everyone with a dashcam will think they're a vigilante informant .

    A mate actually got rear ended a few corners after passing someone who decided he was judge dread. Ohh that was illegal. I think I'll go all UK metro police on your arse.

    That said I fear more than most things on that hill is a bike coming the other way.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    what most idiots that are riding like that don't even think about is the car driver is just travelling from a to b so not ready for that shit.
    the worst moment i think was the yellow bike passing going into a corner.
    why the fuck don't they at least go up there at six in the morning when traffic is thin if they want to be idiots?

    I'm not disagreeing with you there. There's people I've stopped riding with- at the time- as I don't want to be picking up the mess or worse catching it.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I see that brain fart move surprising often around my woods. It's like a 'just one more car' passing move.

    Clearly you need to buy a rowdy pipe for the Speedy. Or use the incident as a excuse for a rowdy pipe. Or anything motorcycle related really.

    I think i've seen that ducati sportbike rider around wellington central. I've also seen someone riding in yellow gear similar to that worn by the other rider too, not that they were doing anything wrong, just saying.

    Commodore driver looked to be in a hurry too. Those flashing brake lights!

    Best time to go for a ride for the sake of riding is late at night in my opinion. That's when I'd go when I lived in Welly anyway. Very little traffic. In summer it's not too hot and not too cold. And you can clearly see oncoming traffic even coming around a corner thanks to their lights and people can clearly see you.

    We don't get to see how long prior to the video he was (quite likely) holding up the line of traffic behind him before he finally pulled over.

    Actually I've been intending build one for ages as all the ones I've seen only cater for silly mini indicators. But I see you can run both. Did you import direct?
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    so if a car holds you up that means its ok to make a stupid overtake? Genuine question.
    Life is not measured by how many breaths you take, but how many times you have your breath taken away

    so you're assuming he's a cunt then? i travel that road often, there is fuck all spots to pull over period, he did perfect in my book, especially so soon after a passing lane, most people think they don't have to bother
    i'd be saying you're the cunt here.

    get your fucking eyes tested, he spent how much time on the other side of the double yellow lines, and passing into a blind corner....
