Keep your eyes open
this is something to think about!!!
See the Motorcycle?
How about now?
A picture is worth a thousand words.
The Honda rider was travelling 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 (155 mph) 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 travelling at 227 feet per second.
With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above
operator would have travelled over 363 feet while making a decision on
what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate
that no actions were taken.
In other words, they didn't even have time to say, 'Oh, ####!'
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE
ON YOUR LIST... MIGHT SAVE A LIFE
