This weekend we went for a short ride in the country in the South West of England. Armed with the GoPro we were filming some of our journey to make a video.
For about a 2 miles (riding at the 50mph speed limit) a white van had been tail gating me, I rode in a defensive position as you should to avoid encouraging an overtake unless they are sure they have the space. He then makes an overtake, breaking the speed limit and forces my friend to move over due to an oncoming car.
It may not look significant but what if the car oncoming had to swerve to avoid something kerb side? What if the biker on the left had to avoid a pot hole? What if the biker nor the driver was paying attention to the situation?
Luckily all was fine this time. Here is the video we caught during the incident, what do you think? I would like to hear other opinions as I am biased after being angered by the van driver tailgating me!

We also made a video of our ride that day here (its not very eventful but it was first time getting the GoPro on the FZ6 so I was playing with angles)
