happens a lot if you're on a motorcycle

my bro in law just had this whilst working in S.korea, driving a vespa when some numptie pulled across him, he's home now after 3 weeks of operations and if very lucky to still have 2 legs.

Whilst the wisdom of owning a vespa in S.Korea is still up for question, He's more miffed that after owning 'big' bikes all his life he has his big smash on a vespa At work
At home

DRL`s working !! for work I drive around in a car designed for maximum visibility with blue and white strobes on the roof, blues built into the grill and door mirrors side repeating blues and flashing headlights and the muppets still pull out on me, yesterday I had to emergency stop due to a pedestrian who stepped out in front of me whilst I had blues and wailer on I then got a tirade of abuse from her for making her jump!! she was not wearing earphones so no excuse there.

We have dash and rear cameras built into all our vehicles and when we had access to the footage from them we used to play the who had the nearest muppet miss game by playing the video back to each other until some one posted them online and upset the bosses who took the screens out of the vehicles.

If I can find a way of putting my phone so on the dash I will have a go at recording a few blue light runs and post any of interest.

Certain coloured cars are renown for blending into the background though and if you give just a cursory glance might not be seen, ok you should look properly, but most folk are in a hurry especially if its school pick up time , they cant be late in case theres no room left to park on the school entrance zig zags and their kid get might get abducted as a result, such is life these days

Don't have a problem being seen!

Maybe we need to drive with a naked woman on the bonnet, like Lady Godiva, Im sure folk would look twice even three times??

She'd be a bit boney now but the effect may be the same  my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
2012 HSE SD4 In Orkney Grey now gone, best car ever.

On Friday of last week, in a 50 mph zone, a foreign (PL) 30' artic pulled out on me to turn left with less than 10 meters to spare. He was completely oblivious to anything coming towards his right hand side, and was only looking left as he pulled out. Both me and the Honda behind had to mount grass banks to avoid a potentially fatal collision, whilst he just trundled off at 20 mph, oblivious to the carnage that he could have caused. I have just tried to upload the file from my BlackVue, but it has been overwritten. The guy behind me and I both were forced to a stop and exchanged words about this arssssehole, unfortunately, with a PL plate, and Warwickshire's USELESS Police 'Service', there is little point in even attempting to report this idiot. It could have been a deadly outcome. He pulled out into a 50 mph area (Offchurch towards Cubbington) without even looking to his right FFS!

Ps: isn't 'multiculturalism' wonderful? The law abiding are ALWAYS penalised, whilst the usual suspects get away with it, time and time again! Foraging near Gaydon....

thankfully you were able to avoid a disaster. In my view anyone making a "mistake" like that should be banned for a long time. Trouble is, rather than confronting the real issue (the driver) the authorities seem to believe the silver bullet is always to reduce the speed limit and install a camera so the crashes (inevitable presumably) are less serious. No doubt it helps with hitting their targets. What a cocked way to look at it

What dashcam do you use? Am considering getting one myself but only want to spend £100 max although I see you can pick them up for much less, anyone else recommend something good, the one I am tempted by is the Transcend 200.

There seems to be more and more bad drivers around lately. saw an elderly driver on the M54 the other day driving at 75mpg on the hardshoulder!!! He must have thought he was on one our governments brainy 'managed motorway networks' which the M54 is not, tried to attract his attention but was giving me the look as though I was in the wrong - after about 3 miles he moved into lane 1, thank god no-one had broken down on the hard shoulder. Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
