If what you relate is both true and accurate you would have been decelerating at 11.1111 m/s^2 - which is about 1.1 G. Reality doesn't work that way. I'm not saying that your experience didn't occur, merely that you got your numbers wrong. You did not stop from 120 km/h in 50 m - not on a bike, without hitting an obstacle, anyway.



However, one would truly have to be an irredeemable idiot to think it valid to evaluate the distance of a vehicle by the headlight spacing. You use the lights to establish that there is another vehicle, then you spend a little bit of time (a fraction of a second is enough for most people) to evaluate how quickly said vehicle is travelling and how close it is. So, his excuse is BULLSHIT too. It's a matter of him being fucking slack rather than your bike having twin headlights.

Glad you are ok! And I'm sure it felt like 50 m and 120 km/h in the circumstance.



Come on, you are brighter than that!
I assume there was a valid reason for all the in depth analysis. Most of us kinda got what he was trying to say.
