Rachel Smith, 49, caught the moment on her dashcam as she was driving along the A1 into Lincoln. Rachel said: “I was just at the roundabout and this guy came alongside me and decided to pull a wheelie.
“He fell off and bum surfed the tarmac and then got back on his bike and rode off.I thought the bike was going to smash into my car at one point - it happened so quick and I thought ‘did that really happen?’ I could just see him out of the corner of my eye - I was worried the bike would smash into my car.”
“It happened at Black Cat roundabout on the A1 – I’m up and down to Lincoln a lot, it’s a well traffic-lighted and laned roundabout so it’s fine usually. I just thought he was an idiot - why would you pull a wheelie on a roundabout.
“As it happened and he was bum surfing along the floor, I thought ‘I just want to get home, now I have to call an ambulance and make sure he’s alright’. He had no motorbike gear on - just in jeans, a hoodie and helmet, he must have really hurt his bum.
“As he got back on his bike he then nearly crashed into the car in front, it was like a You’ve Been Framed moment.”
