Was there something obstructing your view to see the car?
Glad Christian didn't get hit! Aye that's scary

I really do hate Honda's, specially the drivers who think that they are fast. Chris will post up a demo video of the twisties later this week just to give you guy a little preview of the ride we will be making on the 17th.

Werewolf: That part of the street had limit lines. So it seemed that traffic had to stop. I turned looked nothing there, then Pachoow....Honda comes screaming by me. I hoped that cop pulled his ass over.

That's pretty ridiculous. It didn't even look like the honda slowed down or even reacted at all. terrible.

I hate to see it, but unless he was pulling out from a drive way and you guys didn't see him, he had the right of way. That was a freaking close call though :ohno

Did the car blow a stop sign, or is it just me? Hard to tell from the vid. Glad this is a close-call thread and not a crash thread.

Haha You and me both brother. I thought there was a stop sign there too, But he was going much faster than 45mph.

We all are :)

I don't think there is a stop sign there... but it totally looks like the lines are there. What the crap?

Alright so I just went over this video on full screen about 10 times and I was at fault more so. There is not lines painted for limit lines, but the lane does split to a turning lane and a straight away (hence the white lane everyone is seeing) is dividing the two lanes. Although that Honda was speeding, I could have waited that extra 2 seconds.:ohcrap

It happens to the best of us, so don't worry about it. Good of you to own up to it, though. :thumb

Glad you didn't get creamed! Better to learn from a close call then getting hit by a car.
