Ein Bild sagt mehr als tausend Worte ...
A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words ...


The Honda rider was travelling 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 (155 mph) 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 the car and the rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration 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.

Bei 250 km/h legt man rund 70 Meter pro Sekunde zurück. Mit normaler Reaktionszeit zum SEHEN – ENTSCHEIDEN – REAGIEREN von 1,6 Sekunden hätte man 112 Meter zurückgelegt, während man entscheidet, was zu tun ist. Die schwedische Polizei vermutet, dass in diesem Fall keine Reaktion erfolgte.
At 250 km/h (155 mph) the operator is travelling at 227 feet per second. With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would have travelled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken.
FAZIT: Fahre nie schneller, als dein Schutzengel fliegen kann!
RESULT: Never drive faster than your Guardian Angel can fly!
