Car verses Motorcycle
I don't know if this has been posted yet, found it posted in another car forum that I visit.
I have to say the bike rider may of been at fault.......... going 155 mph through an intersection.  http://www.dm.af.mil/pa/mac/news.htm We are one, we are the dead.

The Swedish Police and Road safety Department placed this graphic demonstration at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license.
Sad thing is that he killed two innocent people in the process. Have been riding bikes for many years. As well been a medivac pilot and picked up too many people like this. By posting it hope someone slows down a bit... JoeA

Holy crap!!!!
That really sucks. I ride (a lot) and that is just plain inexcusable. If you can not see what is coming SLOW DOWN. Normally in car vs. bike accidents only the guy on the bike is hurt. Puts your life purely on your own shoulders depending on the way you ride with little consequence to others. Unfortunately this was not the case here.

As a frequent rider too I also have to wonder what the hell was going throught that guy's head (before the VW had a chance to).
Hey-seuss!!!

Obviously the motorcycle driver killed two people. What happened to him? Was he killed on impact as well? That is horrible.

What does this have to do with recently obtaining one's license? Anybody can take a bike and do 150, young or old...common sense is more the deciding factor.
Sad to see. I'm always extra careful around bikes, simply because I distrust the riders. |

People who ride like that often don't make it past the "recently obtained" stage.

The rider was killed instantly and ended up inside the car as well. Dont ask me how I dont know and I am scratching my head as well.
I dont like bikes and hate Thursday nights in this town. I call it Holloween because every one dresses up like a biker and cruises on their Harleys. I stay home on Thursday nights.

Probably at that speed, he had enough energy to sheer the frame & "squeeze in" with the passengers via the helmet pushing him down into the passenger compartment. (Look at the roof deformation). Ugh - must have been very messy.
Goes back to the "There are old ... & bold..., but no old, bold....

Here is another one from earlier this summer where the bike hit hard enough to flip the pickup truck.

I ride aggressively. I will honestly tell you that. But I do it WITH out trafffic around me. If I'm going to kill someone, it's going to be ME. And not anyone else.
That picture was a classic n00b move. Weaving in and out of traffic, speeding amongst traffic or heavily pop. areas ect ect. Will all get someone hurt or killed. More than likely those people had no clue what just hit them. RIP. |
