Speeding thread. Safe or not safe?

Post by Alan H »

Clicky linky

The place and time are elsewhere than Devon roads obviously.
And taking films and posting them on t'interweb for the feds to see is just asking for it.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Riding like a twat? Check. Early in the video he approaches a hump-back bridge at speed, that has a junction right after it: stupid. Not to mention doing 180+ feet per second on narrow single-carriageways with lots of side roads.

Also being stupid enough to post the video afterwards.
