Was recorded on a Drift Ghost HD which is terrible at night, I'd been using it earlier and hadn't switched it to low light mode either so it is even worse.

Was riding along the main road about to turn into a side road, the cars behind had been gaining on me. I indicated ( you can just make out the light on the dash flashing at 4 or 5 seconds into the footage) but just as I was about to turn I heard the bang, which was a lot louder in real life.
I kinda guessed what had happened so bailed out of the turn and carried on so that I didn't get collected.

The white Audi was not involved in the accident, I'm not sure if it was in front or behind the other two cars. The black BMW was hit from behind by what he thinks was a light coloured Vauxhall Astra. He said it had been tail gating him all the way up the road.

Feel annoyed for him and wish I'd got the cars number plate on camera before it drove off.
Kinda glad I didn't get hit though.

Surely that should be handed in to the police and let them get details and speak to both parties regarding the incident.

I spoke to the guy you was hit in the BMW afterwards. He was going to report it to the police and I said i'll send the video footage if he wants it but the car that hit him never came into shot, the white audi wasn't involved in the crash. It was the one further back.

It seems kinda stupid that nobody stopped the other car from just driving off, but I wasn't exactly sure what had happened I thought it was the white audi that had pulled up alongside the bmw that had crashed into it and that they were sorting it out. Whilst he was checking if the guys in the bmw were ok the other car span around and drove off into a housing area.

I know the exposure settings, you get +/- 2.0 and a low light mode, but I'd been out in the daylight and was making my way home, it had become dark and I didn't really have the time to keep stopping and changing the settings.
Drifts are terrible in low light anyway even with the correct settings, it maxes out the iso and just turns everything so grainy that it doesn't really matter that its slightly lighter.
