Unavoidable crash

Post by bikesnbones »

Sometimes, no matter how safe the conditions, and good the visibility, hazards can materialize so quickly that you have no chance of reacting in time.

Are you hurt? I think my leg might be broken......talk about a matter of fact.
He certainly had enough time to see the car....scenery must have been good.

wow. well this guy had plenty of time but clearly wasn't paying attention. first time I watched it I thought 'i'd be backing off now' at 50 seconds into the video. watching it again it would appear that he jumped on the brakes at 53 sec doing 70mph and hit the car two secs later at 55secs where he'd slowed down to just under 60mph. he was a very lucky guy.

the clear moral of this story is 'keep your eyes on the road' boys and girls

Why wasn't he wearing gloves? Why didn't he take evasive action? Why are these people allowed out with cameras?
