Exclamation Be careful out there

Don't know how true the story is, but I'll assume it is..



Quote:
The Honda crotch rocket rider was traveling at approximately 85 mph.
The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the motorcycle. The rider's reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident.

The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them.
The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place.

All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety Department..

Pass this on to car drivers or soon to be new drivers, or new motorcycle owners and especially everyone you know who has a MOBILE phone!!!
A picture is worth a thousand words.

Save a life. Stop talking on mobile phones and Texting while trying to drive.
The life you save may be your own..... Or mine...

Keep passing this on so everyone will see what can happen by using a mobile PHONE while driving

Agreed no cell phones and if you are running your "crotch rocket" at 85 mph on surface streets prepare your will and become an organ donor. Ask your family to understand that you have no regard for your own or other's safety and by all means, watch out for red VW's... Seriously guys be careful out there and watch your speed in town there is a time and place for hooliganism and shenanigans in town is not the place...

Exclamation

Thats soo sad : (

You can never be too safe these days with how people drive

I think I scan the road when I ride more than I do anything... just because of instances like this happening.

If this is the crash I am thinking of, it happened in Norway about 4 years ago. I thought it was stupid to drive that fast when you have the bike for only a short time and I haven't changed my mind.

I went to the library today and checked out "Proficient Motorcycling" by David Hough. I've got a lot of reading to do in the next two weeks. I've heard it is a very good book on cycle safety.

From the photo, you'd think he parked his scoot inside the car for transport...
Unbelievable...
So many things can go wrong at those speeds!
Regardless of cell phone, chances are that the driver wouldn't have seen the scoot rider approaching, as it was more than likely going much faster than 85MPH.
Remember, if the time of the impact, it was going 85MPH, then it probably was going 100MPH, before the rider emergency braked!
