À tous les Duhamel en herbe ...

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 (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 car and 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.

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.


In other words, they didn't even have time to say, "Oh, crap!"

:shock: Habituellement dans ce genre de collision, c'est seulement le motocycliste qui en paye le prix, on l'a pas vu. :cry:

OK, dans ce cas-ci, le motocycliste était au dessus des limites permises et le "char" avait une raison valable de ne pas le voir venir. :roll:

Cet arrangement a fait le tour du Net, il y a 2 ans, à mon souvenir. Il y avait eu des discussions là-dessus, ici, sur Motodirect. Les services routiers impliqués avaient fait cette présentation, en utilisant un cas réel, pour le Salon de la moto de l'endroit, cette année-là. Je comprend, ici, que la "maquette" a été conservée et qu'elle continue à faire du service.

Mon propos n'enlèvent rien à l'importance du message de cet arrangement, bien au contraire.
