Think twice

The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of + 250 KM/h before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place.


All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Stockholm
Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider
had only recently obtained his license.

At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator is traveling at 227 feet per second. With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of
1.6 seconds the above operator would have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take.
In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken""

Drive safe guys. Peace

So.. a honda bike smashed into a golf? Damages the golf pretty badly..

Good post though, it will make people think twice about dangerously speeding.

yeah a honda bike did crash into a lil golf .. but the point is the reaction time here. The time taken by your grey cells in helpin you in decide what to do at the spur of the moment.. at the speed the bike was driving and at the distance covered at that speed there was'nt enough time for the driver of the bike to even decide whether to sway around or brake.
