i think if we add up all the comments on this video we can all come to the conclusion you're a twat.

[quasimojo]

@ferr3t Actually, only genuine morons (aka internet sheep) go with the herd mentality instead of actually thinking for themselves. Do you live and ride in London? If not, you're just another uninformed opinion (aka wanker). Have fun.

[ferr3t]

@quasimojo Internet sheep? It doesn't take a conformist to tell you're an irresponsible driver. It's basically fact. Since when was it legal to drive on the pavement? Next time you should use your head. There could be innocent lives in your hands and your ignorant attitude is what gets them killed. I've spent half my life living in London. Yeah, the roads are tough so I understand. But that doesn't make you eligible to drive like a moron. Patience is a virtue.

[quasimojo]

@ferr3t Patience might be a virtue, but when the roads in London are literally filled with drivers breaking the law WITH DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES TO OTHER ROAD USERS, then it is incredibly hard to be consistently patient when they try to kill you on a daily basis. What happens is that you ride in ways that KEEP YOU SAFE, irrespective of the law - i.e. why should I obey the law when others disregard is dangerous to me. Who did I endanger when I rode on the pavement? No-one but me.

[ferr3t]

@quasimojo So basically what you're saying is two wrongs make a right? If someones driving dangerously, then you must as well? Rules are obviously made to be broken, but you applied for a theory test, AND took a practical, TEACHING you how to drive and stay safe, so it's no wonder why you got pulled over. No, one was in your way when you drove onto the pavement that time, but what about the next occasion, and the one after that? I think you're missing my point that it's still against the law.

[quasimojo]

@ferr3t Practically speaking you have to ride aggressively, defend your space and ride on the wrong side of the road if you want to stay SAFE. Consider it pragmatic riding. I have never harmed another person with my riding, but most importantly I have kept myself safe. When other road users show the same courtesy, so will I - but until that point it's a dog-eat-dog world out there.

And don't forget you DON'T RIDE A MOTORBIKE IN LONDON! So wtf do you really know??!

[stormalx]

Idiot. You couldn't see if the cop was going to turn because of the other bike. I'm not surprised he pulled you over. Plus you rode on the pavement. Not cool. You ride in an angry state of mind, shouting at whoever. If you ride angry that leads to carelessness and accidents.

[theallmightyboosh]

prick

[bmann008]

This has got to be some of the worst riding I have ever seen. You bring shame on other motorcyclists!

[Seansmit23]

I think you should sort out your riding mate.

Ive been riding for 8 years and never seen such reckless riding.. I mean riding on the path? really? I hope you lose your licence.. Its fools like you that give us bikers a bad name

[devonmale69]

What an idiot, you jump the red light you not have a green and you was moving, you overtake a cop who is indicating to turn right. You drive on the pavement.. That's just the main points, and then you post it all on you tube....

[2fallenangels]

Mad respect for that pavment bit bro :D been tempted alot to do similar when there is no pedestrians around, and what happend with the policeman, you over took on a dotted line, nothing wrong but maybe a bit aggressive in his eyes?

To be frank, specialy in london, traffic if your soft you will die, youll end up being hit by some mobile phone using cigarette smoking cager...

[blindinglights02]

Thank fuck i dont live in London. Full of cocks.

[irons25]

@quasimojo you dont ride a motorbike in london either..you ride a poxy little scooter. i ride a motorbike and would never dream of doing alot of the things you do but thats because im a good safe rider

[irons25]

your standard of riding is so poor. CBT level mate, and on the pavement? wish i was walking down it i would of booted you right off you muppet

[Coxy1980UK]

Unless I missed it in a comment, I'm surprised nobody hs mentioned you too are in the wrong re. the taxi red light incident. You could clearly see traffic still moving through the junction, and regardless if they are in the right or wrong, you are needlessly putting yourself in a position of danger. You rode on with a red+amber light, this means stop, do not pass through or start until green shows.

Stay upright!

[mealexme]

2:15 I dont actually see the problem? All you did was overtake with no oncoming cars and its not like you wer crossing a solid white line... What did the cop say? Apologies if that has already been answered, i cant be othered to read through the 7 pages of hate mail.

Although riding on the pavement was pretty stupid and dangerous.
