Road toll - Police stupid obsession blaming speed

[granstar]

The old belief on here that many have including you from your above post that there is always time to brake or swerve etc irrespective of what party is at fault.

WTF!! proactive defensive riding has nothing to do with post reaction time dilemma's that doesn't appear anyone here has alluded to but thyself through drivel.

How is it worked out that driving is not as dangerous as the workplace when substantially more are injured and die on the roads than in the workplace each year?

Perhaps ... driving to the conditions ... and be obeying all the road rules will be safer.

Perhaps ... the act of driving/Riding IS SAFE. Just perhaps ... it's the many DRIVERS / RIDERS that are unsafe ... to the point of making driving more dangerous than it really needs to be.

Her slow uptake on the simplest explanations ... is probably the reason she gets herself into so much bother on the road.

There's a pretty simple reason that TPTB concentrate on velocity in attempting to reduce the casualty rate on the road, and I fear that a lot of people have such a negative understanding of it due to the simplicity of the campaign.

You see, there's two different types of people in this world:

those that are too hick to understand anything that has anything to do with math; and

It has little to do with maths ... just simply speed (Velocity) is only one factor as the cause of many accidents. Multiple factors (road surface condition, stupidity, weather conditions, stupidity, fatigue, sun strike, stupidity, inattention, stupidity, wrong place on the road, (to name but a few) ... ALL combine to cause accidents. Speed in itself is not the predominant issue. Just that in most cases (as you may have discovered) ... the (your) outcome would've been vastly improved had the speed been less.

The speed limit does not guarantee it will be a safe speed on that (or any) road ... at that (or any) time. It only indicates the LEGAL limit for that road.

Stupid decisions kill more people than speed in itself ever will.

those that turn off because they dislike being treated like idiots.

Perhaps ... THEY ARE IDIOTS THEN ...

Nobody has said that though. Are you making shit up again???

...she doesn't make this up...it's obviously shit lodged in her neural passages and just falls out of her grey matter, (her semblance of disassociated brain cells), onto her keyboard...nobody could be so arrogantly thick with even a childs brain...

So if you crash and hit a tree its the fault of the tree being where it is and not your speed?

i'ts probably your fault because you're a fuckwit.

It might just be that it's a slow day but that, that I found amusing to great extent
Also "spread rep" & all that

No, not always. But often there is.

[rastuscat]

And when there is time it's just down to being more aware of your riding environment

There ya go, fixed it for ya.

Nothing to do with speed, just inability to control vehicle under said circumstances.

To use YOUR logic ... if you are under the speed limit ... it couldn't be HIS fault ...

Unfortunately these wise words will be wasted on the big C.....

Pearls and swines etc...

[FJRider]

I think you will find that with most vehicle v tree crashes excessive speed is a contributing factor.

Tree's DO NOT SPEED shit for brains ...

Trust me.....the big C can only aspire to one day being able to upgrade to shit for brains....

That would be a huge step forward
