    MAML riding bike rear ends parked commodore in side street.

    http://youtu.be/As8kzqo62k0

    After reviewing my dash cam footage, yep MAML crashed into parked car (Though he was just leaning on the car for support).

    Hope this middle age dude doesn't have a licence to drive a car.... scary, always a good idea to look where you’re going not matter what type of infernal contraption your piloting ...

    Re: MAML riding bike rear ends parked commodore in side street.

    I've been running a dash cam for almost 2 years now and apart from almost the first day I had it when some P plater in a Foulcan ute lost it in front of me on a wet roundabout. Unfortunately it wasn't recording then as I hadn't worked out one little quirk it has at that stage. Apart from that I've had nothing except for a couple of frustrating incidents with useless drivers that nobody else would care about.

    Not my dash cam ... but one of the more interesting clips I've seen;

    Can probably skip the first 45 seconds ...

    I just swapped micro SD cards in my dashcam and had one today which annoyed me and remembered another one from a week or so ago.

    Ignoramus 1 pulls out, admittedly originally well in front of me, but there was nothing behind me for hundreds of metres, then proceeds to do about 60kmh in an 80kmh zone. If you only wanted to crawl why didn't you wait till I'd gone past thoughtless idiot!!



    Yesterday, bloody idiot reckons it's fine to do 80kmh in the outside lane of a dual carriageway in a 100kmh zone while keeping pace with a car in the left hand lane, then gets upset at me when I try to get him/her to speed up or move over - starts bloody braking!! Number plate PITRA - I reckon the R is extraneous!! Fortunately by braking (illegally??) he/she made enough room for me to pass on the left.

    The wrong way car wow ....didn't even slow down.... that beets my unexpected taxi pull out lane change any day of the week.

    Water - that much usually pulls the car 1 side or the other - dude was lucky.

    Yes I see the same thing - Why do people stay in the over taking lane and travel 20 km/h below the speed limit ?
    Keep left has gone out of fashion - wonder why people are upset when I pass them on the left as the left lane is now the de facto overtaking lane.
    Maybe they are self imposing their preferred extra low speed limit just to really crank the people up behind or can't admit they should be left lane users, people just aren't practical or give a toss about fellow motorists.

    A slow motorist is just as dangerous - totally interrupts the flow of traffic.
