Did you guys read the article which said he wasn’t at fault? Never seen a legal 3 point turn on a 2 lane road one for each direction ..........

He ran into another vehicle - he was going to fast in the conditions and was unable to stop.
Lucky he didn't kill someone.
The guy in the truck will simply report he was doing a legal turn and that the driver of the Porsche failed to stop in time. Guaranteed open and shut.
Harris drives like a pratt on British public roads - there are endless YouTube videos that attest to this. I'm surprised a number of the British you tube testers and EVO in particular haven't been hauled up.

point one where you can see another car. All were closed, forensics already said that it was neither his fault neither he was speeding, it's mid corner in the winter in England, on a rwd car, you are bound to not go fast, sideways maybe, but not fast.
the only problem he has now is a new touring.

He hit a truck it could have been a kid, a hiker, a sheep.
He speeds all over wales as do other journos - it is entirely permissible and legal to do a three point turn on British roads, how do I know - it's part of the driving test.
Whether it's safe to do so is another matter and that's clearly at issue.
Likewise if you're vigilant you don't run in to others- it's anticipation and understanding of the roads, conditions and risks.
No apologies for Chris Harris he's a serial offender his many videos on "British B roads" attest to that.
In this regard he has always been a chancer - this time it didn't work out so well - as I said, lucky for him - next time he might run into the back of a tractor, or a herd of cows being moved between fields . That's how it rolls on British country roads.
Fault does not discount bad and or poor judgement.

That just sucks. Probably could have happened to anyone. Good no one was hurt. My friend tboned a car turning on a double yellow on his bike - wonder if it was the same kind of deal: someone doing something they shouldn't have. The last thing you expect is to come around a corner and see a car perpendicular to the road (irrespective of your speed).

Three point turn on a one way is nuts, and why would a person cross a one way road with a blind corner. Key word cop said you did nothing wrong gee wiz

all aroumd european public roads you have to slow down in blind turn, either on the alps,
otherwise risking at any blind corner you might find a biker
ouch i was forgotting that maybe they don t have anymore european public roads after the brexit??

why not slow down when you dont have full visibility ahead of you?
If rather than a truckman was a teenager on his first time bike??
Anyone that drives on the street without being able to stop the car in time is an idiot not aware of his limits
we have tracks for that kind of driving
