Default Motorcycle hits car at 155 mph...

================================================== =================
A picture is worth a thousand words. The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. 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 10 feet from where the collision took place. All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly. This graphic recreation was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license. At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator is traveling at 227 feet per second. With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken. A picture is worth a thousand words.

dang!! ....Speed kills, It really amazes me that some ppl are that stupid and selfish that they have no concern for others. Its sad the rider took out two innocent ppl and not just himself.

Man that just sucks for the two people in the car. Minding your own business and some dumb *** hits you at that speed. I try to look both ways at intersections even with a green light because of things like this.

Man, you'd think the bike would cut the VW clean in half at that rate of speed. Poor folks in the vehicle....at least it was instantaneous. Not much consultation for the families though.
