It was the glint off your big smile that blinded her - She thought it was just the sun coming up  :grin

I'm pretty sure the constabulary would appreciate a copy of the video and a statement from you to have a word with her.
Cheers,
Gary

She had no idea what was happening anywhere around her, if she continues to drive like this she will either run someone off the road or drive herself under/into a truck... either way she will likely kill someone one day :cuss :well

As for the cops, I haven't had a chance to show this to them yet. I'll make sure to see what they think when I go back to work :law

Unfortunately, all too common on that piece of road.  Did Underwood to Sunshine Coast last Friday and I was more worried then than any time on the way to Perth.  Don't take it personally, Shiney happens to me in the car as well!!  Maybe three lanes of traffic is too much??????

safe riding all

You gotta read their minds- she was always going to come to the RH lane.

Mind you, a reading of that pretty head wouldn't take very long from the evidence available.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

It is pretty piss poor when you are right next to her and all she has to do is have a slight glance to the side

I'd suggest you take your footage to the local police.  You have enough to identify the vehicle, driver, time and date, and a recording of the details offence.
