I'd be talking about looking further up the road and scanning across bends for what might be coming up. The overtake was launched from his side of the road, rather than: out, final check and go. This then led to taking a very diagonal line to avoid the solid white, putting him well out of position for an early setup of the left bend. This meant he clipped the solid white again. He could have matched speed earlier as well, making the O/T easier. So, all back to Observation, and looking further/wider for potential hazards.

That is good enough for me......All I would say is not to treat individual hazards, i.e the overtake as one and then the bend, Why go to the nearside after the overtake, when by staying out would be a straighter smoother line for the next hazard the bend. Observation comes into it and in this case not scanning far enough ahead........ (Horizon Scanning) Mentioning the overtake, I thought a little late. Been following this particular vehicle for awhile and was building up a picture of the drivers driving traits. In this case slow out of every bend !

I know this is an older upload and there's probably no point commenting, but here's my (relatively young Observer's) point of view: From early on, his positioning is interesting to see, but come back to that. The overtake was performed from the following position, which can be more ideal, but meant he presented a hazard to himself with the offside junction late in the overtake zone. My over comments about the overtake would be the idea of "precommiting" - irrelevant of the position, he put the gas and indicator on far too early. If something changed, he has just put himself in the face of danger. So rather than doing a confirmation offside position before gas, he precommmited it. The return looked fine until he was fully in, his poor angle meant he had to correct position harshly. This probably contributed to his poor corner entry and mid-corner, which involved drifting inwards when there were no oncoming vehicles, cutting his view down. Second corner, probably would have been better to use a central position due to the blind field entrance, but he also introduced a position change very close to the corner, resulting in a less steady corner. The final thing worth mentioning is how you caught up to him on the corner exits, he wasn't applying any throttle to exit the corner. This would be acceptable in trafficed conditions, but not when the road is open, clear and free of hazards

Moving late into best view position for a bend.

Assuming the speed of the road is 60 mph , starting on a left hand bend you had your view up the left side , probably in the following position and not in the overtake position , late mirror check and indication to overtake no life saver so your speed is now to fast exceeding the NSL when you moved in after the overtake noting the slow paint and left hand bend warning sign you adopted position 2 , you should have stayed position 4 but you moved position 5 onto the double whites , smoother pace would have been better also moving now to position 2 for right hand bend , no left turn warning sign noted but right chevrons marked the right hand bend , speed reduced no mirror check , when rounding the bend you then adopted position 4 for safety against the left junction

Slowing down through the corner. Bike and tyres work best went put under force of acceleration. slow in fast out.

How did you do the speed overlay? What software/hardware?

Drifts offline mid corner?

Well spotted but not for the debrief this time. It is to with his bends, not cornering .......

His line discipline to set up his cornering seems a bit inconsistent and his speed seems a little inconsistent too?

advancedbiker part of what I though was the issue with his line discipline was that he’s on the middle line at one point ..

Speed too fast going towards bend and far too close to center line.
