People Are Stupid

[Rezus17]

Just a compilation of knobheads that I've encountered this week so far. I'll be making this a sort of series thing, as I do enjoy making a nice short video

HaHa! There certainly are a lot of tools out there! These people seem to have little respect for other road users.

Funny how you seem to notice more of these types of people on a bike. Well I do anyway compared to when I am in my car. :roll:

Probably because in your car you're distracted by all the other things that grab your attention in a cage, like radio, person sitting beside you etc. I'm exactly the same!

Yeah that's it. I like to think that as a rider, I am more aware of my surrounding whilst in a car than most drivers are, but I still do not have that same level of awareness as when I am on the bike.

haha good stuff. I thought i was going to have a pretty funny and interesting video for tonight, just to get home and find out the cam did not even record any of it... I almost hit a wild turkey that flew right passed my face, almost took out a dog and few other funny things like in your video.

Oh well should have knew better then using my backup came on a below 50 and windy day.. This cam does not like cold weather, and my drift is not working :evil:

Most car drivers have never experienced how vulnerable you feel (and are) on a motorbike, so lack consideration as to how much time/space etc. to give them. Distractions play a big part too. The amount of people i've told to get off their phone :evil: haha. To be fair, a lot of them are just plain dickheads, but when i'm in the car I always give bikers as much time and room as possible!

Believe it or not when I lived in Texas, I saw a woman driving down a 6 lane highway at 75mph while putting her eye drops in. And they had a story on the radio once about a woman breast feeding her child on the highway too :lol:

Cheers I've done that before, forgot to charge my battery so the camera ran out about 5 minutes in! Got into town and had a big argument with a man parked in a motorcycle parking bay. Thought it'd make for a cracking video until I found out it recorded nothing :cry:

Ah yes. Been there loads with my old Drift! Sadly, it is a common situation with drift owners.

I hate the fact when I go riding without my Gopro I see sooo many twits doing stupid stuff but when I ride with it on everyone is well behaved. It's almost as if the camera makes everyone behave like there driving in front of a marked cop car.

Yes, but drift support is great even with mine out of warrenty they still sent me info on how to trouble shoot and master reset be for checking cost to send it in. I hate gopro, but that's just personal opinion. If mine don't work after new battery and reset I'll stick it on ebay for parts and buy 720 drift.

My cam goes every where with bike so i can flip it on if needed (works well if pulled over by police, they seem to be more reserved when on cam). I just put them in my bike jacket when going into work.

Yeah, I noticed the red light for battery(cold just drained it fast i guess) and was like oh well get what i can get. 1 hour ride for 0 seconds of footage :lol:

Its weird, don't take this as a negative comment But that's my daily commute... if I don't get at least 4 car drivers pull out on me, 2-6 change lanes without checking/indicating and countless pedestrians cross the road without looking I think my ride to work would be dull

 

[Rezus17]

Ranting at peoples idiocy brings me a warm feeling of joy :lol: Everybody makes mistakes though, which I understand, I just like making fun of them through the medium of YouTube
