Stop Test.

i didn't brake and it made no difference. It's just an ad.

[Finn]

What a crock of shit. More propoganda bullshit from LTSA.

While they're at it, why don't CYPS create a game where a maori father gets to see how hard he can punch and kick his son until he's unconscious. Or better yet, the Union game where you get as many doctors as you can to leave work and watch all the people die. Or, or, or, the Council game where you purposely create havoc on the roads and laugh as the traffic comes to a complete stop.

That site is a total and utter fake.

I selected 100kph. Hit the "brake" as soon as the car started moving. It continued on for 21 section frontages. That's over 1200 ft , 400 metres, 4 times their claimed stopping distance at that speed. And then , of course, hit the child.

It's totally rigged and typically, discredits anyting they may say.

Moreover, it is also false insofar as the "distance ahead" they show is far less than the 12 second rule (about 3 seconds) .

I claim "bullshit"

Moreover, whats with the 1.5 second reaction time. I may be old but my reflexes aren't that slow. Maybe 0.3 seconds. Also, after you have braked the "vehicle" does not slow down.

[ZeroIndex]

This is bullshit. If you stop in time, it kills the kid anyway just to show what might have happened had you been going at 60 instead of 50kmh. To make this more realistic they should use a RAV4 in reverse, rather than a toddler on a trike.

NASTY!!!! However that deserves green rep..

Don't forget the Traffic Infringment Quota game. My favorite.

[Sniper]

No matter how many times I hit him, the stupid bastard doesnt get the hint.

[Shadows]

Just a gentle tap. He'll be fine!

[Gremlin]

What the hell do they think drivers are on??

"At 50kph it takes 41m to stop" WTF!!!!!!

I did the bronz ride right course, and at 70kph, I was pulling up my bike in about 2.5 car lengths, so approx 15m. And my bike is heavy, at 200kg dry. Give me a nice new sprotty, I should be able to pull it up faster.

50 kph... sheesh, less than 12m if I remember correctly...

hmmm, although, if I try to suck up to LTNZ, the concrete surface was probably grippy...

Quite. Where's the game of "back the SUV out of the drive, on a cellphone, screaming at the kids and act surprised when you smear a motorcyclist across the back left quarter".

Or how about Lane Changer! Change lanes in traffic without first looking - half points for whacking Jim2's foot.

Or Effluent! Drive round the Wairarapa smearing sheep shit on the roads - fun for all the family!

Oh the fun! Anyone good with flash?

I'm *almost* sure that I remember the mantra being "30 foot at 30mph". And that with 7 inch sls drum brakes lined with war surplus trousers.

*might* have been 30 yards, but even that is much less than their figure.

But, if they're assuming a 1.5 second reation time, that could be right. Maybe the 1.5 seconds includes time to hang up the cell phone.

[What?]

Notice their car has no steering - much like the LTSA itself...

Which has, since 1 July 2005, been known as LTNZ, for the benefit of the less observant amongst us. www.landtransport.govt.nz

[Titanium]

Where on earth do they get those numbers from?

At 160kph it says that it'll take 143.4M to stop. It takes me just under 120M to go from 215kph to about 60kph. and i'm hardly 'the last of the late brakers'. I could probably come to a complete stop in 143.3M.

I soooo want to be able to stop like that.........

[RiderInBlack]

Dam brakes were faulty That cage should not have passed a WOF. Wouldn't let me brake earlier.

So I thought, fu*k'em and didn't brake at all next time. Hey if I was going ta kill the kid anyway I might as well do it properly.

PS: before anyone get upset, I would not do that in real life. It's just an animation, OK

[Quartida]

Why doesn't MINE have any animations? I just got a speedo. There's no fun in that.
