<div class="bbWrapper">I thought it was going to be making progress in hospital.<br /> <br /> Too busy with his tactics, not enough strategy there.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">He's ok...but he deserved what he got...he'll think next time. Of course the video will lead to his prosecution if he can be identified.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I thought that's what bikers called weaving in and out of traffic ?<br /> <br /> 'Making progress'</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Saw a young dude today on a scooter wearing shorts and a vest and for good measure, he was texting!</div>

He'd catch the death of cold on a day like today.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Must admit if I'm in stop/start traffic, and I see a biker coming through, I move over for him if I can, how does it help me not to?<br /> <br /> But at the speed this idiot was weaving, I'd get out of his way purely for my self-preservation!!!</div>

Let's hope that was a wake up call for that biker. Ride like a **** and you ARE going to come a cropper sooner rather than later.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">What a prat . I loved that one word he uttered just before he hit the truck .</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">He was also very fortunate that the car he undertook didn't move back to the nearside lane just after he had completed his overtaking manoeuvre else he might have been having his event at a higher speed than when he hit the trucks.</div>
