Not sure if it's my phone or if the website has removed the video but nothing will play for me unfortunately.

I give the biker credit, he or she has that 6 sense you get riding bikes, they felt someone coming up along side and tried to bail. If they had not done that, I think the car may have driven over them.
Was pulled out on twice this morning, one of those was on the motorway, not good to make quick swerves when the roads are a tad moist.... :(
