Honda crotch rocket vs. VW golf

Probobaly a repost cause i suck like that....












"The graphic display was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license.

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 (155mph) before the bike hit the side of the slow moving car at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the Volkswagen came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes.

The car had two occupants and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them, along with the motorcycle itself.

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 the car, plus the rider) were killed instantly.

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 [such] actions were taken."

i feel bad for the family of the people in the golf, that guy on the bike is an ass. if your going to do that on a bike why anywhere that there are intersections? i know too many people that have been killed on / by bikes. i hate most riders attitudes.

We had that happen down here in Southern MN last year I believe. A guy on a bike was doing well over 125 mph and hit a suburban. The suburban rolled over three times. Eventually the family of the killed bike driver sued the driver of the suburban because she pulled out in front of the motorcylce. Never heard what happened with the court case, but its insane that a little crotch rocket could roll over a suburban.
