Re: Motorcycle videos
It's marginal but also my head/eyes are much higher. Do you have a particular one where this appears to happen as I'm always interested in feedback and analysis? Apologies for not replying sooner. A matter of a heart attack intervened. The white van overtake looked OK the other overtakes gave the i...

Re: Motorcycle videos
Was the camera mounted behind the rider? Oooo, never been asked that. No, it was just above my left front turn signal. https://i.ibb.co/zrjqPW2/20190923-121801.jpg Click image for better quality wider photo Ah. With it positioned there probably explains why overtakes were done before all nearside i...

Re: Reg Local - IAM Masters
... a likely occurrence when driving on the road. Although could doing (and trying to cling onto control during) an unintentional off-road excursion create the situation?
