Can You See The Motorcycle?

Maybe Now?

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 riders 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 CELL PHONE!!!!!

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Wake up people , Stop talking on Cell phones and
Texting while trying to drive. Put your Cell phone
in the back seat !!!

I got this in email the other day, I was stunned once I could actually see the motorcycle.

Man...I hate and fear butt-heads driving while on their cell phones as much as anyone.

But...also gotta ask why the crotch rocket pilot (space cadet?) was doing 85mph on a stretch of road (obviously not Eway) where cars pull out of side streets

In fact, since this display was set up at a Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety Dept, I highly doubt they were trying to teach cell phone safety...primarily...and I hope the message gets to ALL concerned.

Meanwhile,yeah

incredible display and photos.

Scary stuff..... Cell phones and cars should not be allowed with out a freehand systems built-in in the car.

That's pretty dramatic. Wonder how Americans would react if the police were to display that here in public places?

A guy I grew up with got killed a couple of years ago when a young girl decided to cut across 3 lanes to make a left turn. I have no doubt he was on the gas ( crotch rocket ) and when he hit her Volkswagen Rabbit he pushed her 30 ft. They should park that mess in front of the local High School for a couple days like they do with DUI crashes.
