Yea, but there are occasions when something has been posted TOO much

[MazTLR]

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 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.


I'm thinking that wearin a helmet wouldn't have mattered much.... Ouch!

Ouch thats going to leave a mark.

However there seams to be alot of missing blood for an accident that three people died in? And the tailpiece looks in suprisingly good condition if the car rolled like stated in the text.

Or I could be paranoid and think everything is one big conspiricy

Sorry but that's been posting here, and on many other boards before. It still doesn't quite look kosher.

Silverado, it's not rocket science.

Click on the search button. Type a key phrase like "swedish police" and click "go". That way you can see how many times this bloody topic has been posted before, and you can avoid wasting everyone's time.

Basic forum etiquette.......

No, only three days........

It's a set up. Sure, the crash may have taken place, but they sure as hell didn't remove three bodies and the blood from that wreck without disturbing everything or removing the motorbike. They've taken the wreck (or more than one wreck) and simply shoved as much of the bike back into the car for visual impact. Notice how the rear of the bike's undamaged and protruding from the side of the car, but yet the car's meant to have flipped over from the impact. How did the back of the bike not sustain any damage? Essentially, I never trust any statistic or display produced by the Police or government when it comes to speed-related accidents. Most governments have vested interests in trying to justify heavier and heavier policing. It's therefore in their best interests to distort statistics and manipulate information to suit these aims.

It's very easy to say the bike was doing 250kph, but police crash examiners have a habit of vastly overestimating speeds.

I also question, somewhat, the see-decide-react time of 1.6 seconds. Sure, in some parts of South Auckland it's double that. Sut for the majority of bike riders, I'd have thought under half that was the norm. NZ works on a 1.5 second reaction time, according to the official stopping distance figures. The UK, on the same basis, works on a .75 second reaction time. I'd have hoped that anyone on a bike on a regular basis would be able to hit their brakes in under half a second. At 250kph, assuming a .75 second reaction time, you'd still travel 52 metres before taking any action ... but it puts the crash in a different light somewhat.

ARGH!!!
