The Dark Knight Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Got home today from a family holiday in Scotland this last week. We stayed in St Andrews and due to needing the extra luggage capacity, I drove my dads Audi A4 Avant. I took the liberty of fitting my dashcam into his car just in case and we captured the usual iffy moments... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 I think its a lack of forward thinking by the RRS in the first clip. He just thought he would go for it on the straight stretch but underestimated how long it would take to get past. He also overtook into a right turn box and of course there could have been cars pulling out of the side turning. He was certainly closer to me than the camera makes it look. With the Skoda, I was doing almost 60 so he had to exceed that to get past and going up a hill with a dip before a left hand bend. Any sports bike coming around that bend would have been on him before he could do much about it. A bit further up the road was a nice straight stetch! Patience needed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've hit the nail on the head with one word......patience, of which a lot of drivers nowadays don't have! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
