Using your mobile phone while driving

[Dave H]

The car was turning right with the lady on her phone. The motorboke was estimated at doing about 85mph.

 

all 3 were killed instantly on impact. It's tempting i know to use that phone but pull over and if your a bike rider keep to that speed limit...Tragic!

Probably the manufacturers fault. Side impact bag didn't deploy.

(each year they put similar examples in front of our secondary schools - kids simply say "not me - that's the other guy")

I hit a car (Morris traveller) at 90mph+. the actual speed I am not sure of, except that I glanced down at the speedmeter and when I looked up I spotted the bonnet of the car coming out of his driveway. Next thing I remember was lying on the road with 2 old ladies tending to me. The car I hit came out of his driveway on to a main road, and my Norton was inside just behing the driver and passenger seats. Luckily I had done what I was taught (by Army dispatch rider) to let go if you about to hit something, otherwise I would have followed the bike inside the car!

 

And that's where my Sciatica originated..........................
