  1. Prince Harry's police motorbike outrider crashes head-on into taxi | Mail Online

    This is the second time this week the Mail has released footage of yet another car pulling out on a motorcycle! The first one I am sure most of you are aware of and I feel has been covered sufficiently and I need say no more.

    This collision however provokes the question "who is to blame"? Watching the cctv footage shows the car pull out into the carriageway and the outrider seems to be overtaking the oncoming car, hmm, at the moment I am on the fence with this one. Any thoughts?

  2. Hope the rider is okay. Despite there being footage, I'm sure the taxi will suddenly 'find' witnesses to the accident :Angelic:
    Its my understanding that even with blues and twos going, the emergency services are still subject to the same road laws. But accidents involving the emergency services are a whole new ball game, despite riding under their own insurance policies

  3. the cop is at fault overtaking through a junction.....simples. (even taking into account the extra ordinary thing he is being expected to do)

  5. Are they the real Rozzers, I`m sure it says "POLITE" on their hi-viz jackets.

    Glad rider and driver are both ok.

  10. The Prius nearly hit the car too, clearly pulled out when the road wasn't clear to do so.

  11. The bike is a Honda VFR1200, the current mount of the Met's riders performing these duties.

    Hope the biker & driver are both ok.
