    Being a Volvo driver and a biker I think the bikers were being tossers just as much as the Volvo driver. Ps I bet he would aced the overtake in an XC90 though

    I have to agree, both the bikers and the S60 were Knobs.

    were the bikers doing the speed limit if yes then the drivers a knob and deserved it even if they were going slow which is a bit daft was it really that important to pass the bikes or his skill level of driving

    Difficult to pass judgment on the bikes, we don`t know the full story

    S60 driver though is clearly a knob and got what he deserved

    Dumb overtake, and he let the frustration cause him to make a stupid decision. But the situation arose just as much due to the bikers' inconsideration.
