The proliferation of dash cameras in Russia and other former Eastern bloc countries has definitely led to some incredible video these days.

We have muppets closer to home according to our news today. This one posted his off on social media where upon the police spotted it and successfully prosecuted him for dangerous driving.  The "cat and Fiddle" road that features is rated as the most dangerous in the country. It starts 3 miles from where I live so I have of course ridden it many times and I think it is dangerous and not particularly good fun with too many very tight slow bends that can surprise and bite the unwary. I've had one moment on one of those bends and that was enough for me. I treat it with great respect.

The cat and fiddle guy is a complete idiot and gives all motorcyclists a bad name.

He was very lucky to have survived the crash and missing the car, both could have been fatal.
