    After sitting here like a noddy for ages I realised that I needed to click the play button again. Try that if you haven't already.

    Thats always the case for embedded video in a browser. It just like a separate window, gotta click once to make it the current window.

    Yeah I realised that, but when the buffer ran out it paused so I had to click play again. Not sure if that is always the case... I haven't had a video stop streaming on me for a while.

    Man that's stink. Real stink. Sad.

    Breaks my heart, no matter who's fault. Lives destroyed. Terrible.
    To split or not to split, that is the question

    Doesn't though Scumdog.

    Its the massive deceleration forces if you hit something that cause the big problems...

    No-one ever died from excessive velocity.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    No speeding does not kill. Speed in excess of what's appropriate for the conditions kills. The two things are completely unrelated, just bunched together to make statistics which can be used to justify anti-speeding crackdowns.

    The rider was doing 220 on a busy-ish road (judging by the video footage) where there were junctions. Speed inappropriate for the conditions.

    Not that I'd expect a cop to comprehend that, as capability for independent and critical thought is lost the moment an officer receives his warrant card...

    While Scummy is just trolling, if speed did kill hundreds of people would die everyday onboard airplanes. Actually, if that were the case, we wouldn't have airplanes. Except remote controlled ones. And then you'd only die if one fell out of the sky and hit you. Then speed is irelevant, the weight would kill you alone.

    Well duh!
    Now I'm going to have to be as pedantic as you:

    Without 'excessive velocity' you can't have 'massive deceleration forces'

    Whew!
    I'll make sure that I turn down any offers of a 'warrant card' eh!



    What IS a warrant card? D'you get one with each W.O.F? And what are they used for??
