When I had a motorbike there were 2 cars I never tried to keep with - Subaru’s (and evo Mitsubishi’s) and skylines as they were bloody quick and generally driven by lunatics.
You can see the poor biker standing it on the front wheel to try and stop. Let’s he hope he gets the financial help he’s going to need after those injuries. Very surprising he survived.
Coincidentally a work colleague was killed on the A57 (immediately to the right of the biker’s helmet in the opening frame). By a Subaru driver. Again the offender on the wrong side of the road and going far too fast, in that case overtaking while approaching the brow of a hill.
They are incredibly capable cars. But only if you have Colin McRae driving, too many people buy them and are no where near able to handle them
Bloody hell…
Yep, I have never been in a car with more grip than a Mitsubishi Evo. It’s otherworldly and I imagine it encourages ordinary drivers to do very, very stupid things.
Yep, most mortals can’t react fast enough and don’t think past the end of the bonnet…
And the bastard in the car only got a ban - I’d have thought he’d get custody for that…
He was jailed for 16 months too.
Because what we want is everyone driving the longer way from A to B, chucking more CO2 into the air, and we all know that the M42 doesn’t have enough traffic on it

Fekkin’ Luftwaffe. No concern for the general public.
Single yellow line on a Sunday?
Is/was that a Fiesler Storch?
I think so Rob. Same tailplane & rudder by the looks of it, and the broken section of the wing has a similar curve at the end.
Just wtf!!?!
No, not the lorry in the ditch, but the pelmet with dangly brocade…
