I'm watching Fifth Gear right now. First time really watching the show and it's pretty interesting. The main presenter, Timothy I think his name is?, is at Galpin Auto Sports in California test driving their wide body 1,000 horsepower Shelby GT 500.

Tiff then takes the GT 500 out into the California hills for a proper thrashing. If you've seen the episode, it seems like he's driving the car hard on what, I assumed, was a closed road. As he rounds a slight bend, cutting into the opposite lane, a biker suddenly appears heading towards him. Seeing this really pissed me off because he's driving like a complete prick on what is not a closed road. He could have easily cut too deep in the corner and killed that biker. This makes me mad because I am a biker and have dealt with assholes coming out of their lane tight in a corner and realizing that I am there at just the last second. I've been hit by a car before while biking and needless to say, it sucks ass.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a video online of this incident, so i recorded it on my iPotato and linked the Youtube video !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Hope the quality is decent enough that you guys can see why I'm so upset about this.

I would say it was probably closed and the biker went down when he wasn't supposed to. I would think a show that has been on for that long would do the proper thing and close it. Surprised Vicki isn't driving that beast.

Damn you btw should of put a spoiler alert up had to reschedule it because of other shows where being recorded.

The road looked closed at first, but if you continue watching past what I recorded, he FLYS by a few cars. That's what leads me to believe that this road isn't closed.

And my bad if I spoiled anything!! I thought I was watching a rerun.

Well that is just lame that they did that. I would think they would be way more responsible, guess not.

Ya that's what I thought, too! I was really enjoying watching when he was first giving it the beans and it looked like a great time. Then the biker passed. Then more cars passed. Then I was pissed. I can't imagine they wouldn't be able to close off a road to shoot this portion of the show.

I have never watched an episode of fifth gear because I can't stand the presenters. It seems like they're always yelling; annoys the hell out of me. Now I have a real reason to hate that squinty-eyed limp noodle.
