Who me fuck that'd be a first

To be fair though, he might just be off doing research, books or otherwise, though with the topic at hand I can only hope he doesn't get too carried away with the practical aspects...

Who said I believed it though you systems engineering type person you.

Well, I was expecting some info from him to enlighten us.

Haha, a little doubt is often a wise thing. And today I'm a software engineer, so even less worth listening to than when I was a systems engineer

No problem, just give us all a heads up when you're who you need to be on any given day so we can listen/read/take on board appropriately.

You'll gladly accept that argument when they move to ban bikes then I assume




Another "extreme to make a point"

Vehicle A hits logging truck at 100km/h

Vehicle B hits logging truck at 130km/h

Vehicle C hits logging truck at 80km/h

All logging trucks are fully loaded, stationary & identical. All vehicles are identical & hit at the same point. the only variable is the speed of impact.

All drivers are fucked!

Certainly not. I hit a fully loaded cattle trailer parked on the road in rain at night. It was not lighted at all. I hit it at 100km/h (probably a little less as i did brake but it was well raining). Myself and my passenger walked away with bruising from the set belts and minor cuts from the broken glass. Certainly hurt like hell after but certainly not fucked.

the faster you are going, the harder you hit something.

The simple fact is that speed has nothing to do with anything. Instantly becoming stationary is the problem.

[Akzle]

Lol at Dave trying to understand wtf is going on.

it's alright, he still owes us a thesis on why paying police makes the road safer, i don't think he's going to do any better on this one...

Hey Akzle, put in a fair bit of effort and you could almost climb up to the level of his group...

i'm still not up to yours, yet, let alone the jewhoover.
but thanks for believing in me, it means a lot, really. :dry:

Huh,, to be a group there has to be more than one member...

dunno, man, my member is pretty big

nicely avoiding the physics.

Answer this then, it seems I have to be extreme to make a point.

Vehicle A hits Object A at 30 kmh.

Vehicle B hits Object B at 100 kmh.

Both objects are identical. Both vehicles are identical. the only variable is the speed of impact.

Which vehicle suffers greater damage?

Object A.


although why not say that both vehicle A and B hit Object(s) C, and make object(s) C something like a powerpole,

and that means sweet FA, they could both be insurance writeoffs, and the occupants could all walk out, because vehicles A, B have the aforementioned safety features.

i still reckon that a vehicle with more (kinetic?) potential energy (going faster) will transfer more of it's energy into whatever it hits. whereas going slower, more of the energy will remain in the vehicle. i can't think of an analogy for this. hit your kid with a tennis racket or cricket bat and see which one they prefer. or something.

note:
* 'the police' refers to the policy makers rather than the individuals who are tasked to carry those policies out.

nono. it is actually "the police" that decided on this. they've got this thing called discretion. it just happens to be national policy (via the police, not TPTB - they say 100 = 101 you get fined)

Using that premise, agreed ONLY if the rest of us taxpayers have the right to refuse to pay for your Medical expenses in the result of any injury/trauma/damage you receive or cause

Fair enough?

absolutely, you get it in writing from the government that they wont talk to me, send me letters, set their dogs (cops) on me, stop me travelling, take money from my work and will, generally or otherwise, leave me the fuck alone, and i will NEVER ask for anything from them.

I'm trying to get Akzle to understand that the faster you are going, the harder you hit something.

I'm discussing the severity of those that actually occur. The faster you go the bigger the mess In the event of a crash.

yeah i get it. i'm trying to get you to get that cars are designed to crash, and not kill people so much. ergo, you have to be fair trying to actually write yourself off.
look at the V8 crashes etc, treble rolls, upside down and on fire and the guy gets up an walks out. this technology (not all of it) goes into the vehicles on the road.

of course, i'm fucking perfect, and i advocate not crashing.

Yeah. Increase your own safety by going faster, and fuck everyone else

put that in writing, sign it with your badge number and post it to me.

The simple fact is that speed has nothing to do with anything. Instantly becoming stationary is the problem.

i think you're going to reconsider that, as "instant" is an invalid paramater for these physics guys...

Bored at work today? Go and play with your tools.

Ohh, cutting red rep eh?

And 5 hours after the "fact".

And to answer your question: Yes indeed, but I doubt he'd consider you worth the trouble. Also, if you wanted it private you could have, y'know not posted drivel on a public forum.

So, I've been doing other things, is that a problem as well?

Get fucked publicly then!!

Probably, if your performance here's anything to go by, but I really couldn't give a shit, dude.

Later.

The great Ocean1 has spoken. Now, was that a real thing or a construct in your sad old mind? Keep taking the pills.

Later would be too soon dickhead.

How the fuck have you managed to contribute so little to this thread all day Zedder? do you not have a job or are you some sort of limp wristed pissy little fuck who can't work cause he's got "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"?

In writing this post I went back and had a look at how often this guy was posting, turns out within minutes of anyone making a post he was on here replying to it, what are you getting fucking facebook status updates on this shit? a fuckin' text message? or do you just sit there refreshing the page leering like an idiot? is it all three? is it like a fuckin' singing christmas card in your basement/dungeon every time someone posts a reply and your email, phone, and facebook all simultaneously make an assortment of beeps? stretching your burger ring coated fingers and mashing away some inane message scripted in your mind, intended for your asshole but intercepted by your fingers and posted on here?

I see this is the first thread you've started that went multi page, honestly congratulations, you must be so proud of yourself, I hope this thread goes on longer so your boner over bogan can increase to its impressive 2.5 inches.

Anyway I'm going to go visit some friends, they're the type other people can see too, I know this cause I don't have to ask.

You sir have yourself an excellent evening, be careful with the hangmans boner later on, it once killed a famous singer.

Hmmm, guess you haven't heard of the site's iSpy function then? Perhaps less of the personal background checks, more reading the kb user manual

Well, you've been waiting here for a while so nothing better to do?

Actually I only work 6 months of the year at the moment if you need to know. I'm currently writing up a geological and roading survey report for work I did in Aussie. I helps to have a break every now and then so I check things out on here and do some post as you know.

I don't have to go back to work til May, but I get paid quite well.

How about you? I heard you're at Uni. Doing anything worthwhile? Any news on the physics of road crashes for us?

Nothing wrong with the physics in this thread by the way, I'm just not sure what relevance it has on speeding?

edit: Akzle what was the thing we were debating that I was going to look in to? I honestly hold no grudge against it, if my thesis on it is incorrect then I'll be as right as you are, was it number of officers on roads vs speeding? there was a bunch of data i was going to find right? or quality of officers or something, it was back a few pages in operation mataki right? before I enlightened the sewage with centripetal force right?

something like that bud. you bascially argued that paying cops was not a waste of time. i argued that you may as well jack off for road safety, because the only thing that has bought road deaths down (not the number of crashes) is vehicle safety standards.
