This might be a repost but still, here it is...........

YouTube - Scarcely beside it is also past

this guy should be toast! Just goes to show one second you could be fine, tankin' it round a bend at 40 degrees, next you could be a lump of flesh and metal scraped across the tarmac! I bet he got a HUGE adrenalin rush after that!

Notice the four leaf clover on his keys, looks like it worked! lucky bastard!

that wasn't the UK - he was riding on the right side of the road. But WHOA! what a nice reaction to the threat!

Great find!

Very good reaction time yes, follow this jack ass so we can see when he becomes a hood ornament, he never even slowed down after that.

Thats how it happens, sure the guy in the car pulled out but your dont expecting someone to come around a blind corner at that speed.

Great job not hitting the car, but it all could have been avoided if he slowed down a bit
