186 mph motorcycle gets passed by a station wagon (Audi)

And yet people keep insisting that speed kills.
Bullets are pretty speedy though.

You would be correct. According to wikipedia, there are 4.4 road deaths per 100,000 people in Germany and 10.3 firearm related deaths per 100,000 people in the USA.

Given the relative populations, (80 million vs 313 million), you have to say that there are roughly 9 times the number of people killed by guns in the US as are killed on the autobahn.

The project's motto is Velocitas Eradico - Speed Kills.
Somebody's a fuckin' comedian.


Actually, a Google translate would lead me to believe "Speed Obliterates" which is just fucking AWESOME.

POV of Motorcycle Versus Deer at 85 MPH

robbersdog49 says...

"The same road at 2am on a weekend with nobody around could be safe for 60mph. That's safe, even though it's over the limit."

Not safe. It's safer, but that's a different thing. In a built up area you don't know what could step out from behind a parked car, or tree or whatever is around. You can claim you can, but you can't. What you're saying is that it's unlikely there's anything there to hit. Which is true. But unlikely is not the same as it being guaranteed. On a race track the whole area is controlled. You can be sure that there aren't any kids about to run out in front of you. You can go as fast as you like and that's fine. You know the surface of the track is prepared and cleaned, and even if it isn't if you come off there are run off zones and safety barriers to stop you safely. But in the real world things are just never this controlled. Never. There could be oil on the road, there could be mud/stones/whatever. If you come off you could end up hitting the guy walking home from the nightclub, or just killing yourself.

You obviously feel that the risk of killing someone is one worth taking. Please don't try to say that driving through a residential area at 60mph in a 30mph limit isn't risking killing someone because it is. Every time I get in my car, or you get on your bike we risk killing someone, be it ourselves or someone else. Driving or riding over the speed limit drastically increases the chance of any collision being deadly. This guy in the video hits the dear, which would have happened to the best of riders. This forces him onto the wrong side of the road, which again could have happened to any rider. He's just lucky there isn't anyone coming the other way. This has nothing to do with skill. It's luck. I don't like that you are choosing to increase the chances of killing someone else by speeding, and advocating speeding. Like it or not this is the case.

It seems I'm not the only one thinking this way. You're obviously not going to win anyone over to your 'speed is safe' ideas. Speed kills. As for the 60 in a 30 zone thing, if you hit someone at 30mph they have around an 80% chance of survival. If you hit them at 40mph they have around an 80% chance of death. (Figures from UK road safety campaign)

You can choose to ride how you like. You can fool yourself into thinking the world is predictable and easy. So far you've been right, but you're one person, statistically completely unimportant. The fact that you've gotten away with it is no argument at all. Think what you like, but the facts simply don't support your view.

Man detained while his dog dies, freakout ensues

solvent says...

Ladies and Gents,

I will maintain a civilized tone through my post but: The police officer may not have been too professional but he had a point. Speeding kills. Average Joe cannot drive fast safely. Specially at night, especially under stress. So if you drive fast, under stress, at night you will most likely make a mistake. A mistake which can result in property damage, injury or DEATH. So while I respect animals (I'm a vegetarian) I simply cannot believe how fast your are to pass a judgment. Do you know why the man's dog was dying, do you think he may have been responsible for it? Was he a vet so that he can tell that the death of his dog was imminent and what if the dog dies on the way to the hospital prior to him crashing into another car??? These are just a few questions we must ask.

Another angle is that police officers took an oath to protect us (humans).

And hey how about you say you love animals yet you walk by animal shelters without adopting those adorable puppies and kittens. They will be put down soon. So why don't you just think a but more before you judge.

The driver should have been arrested, charged and put before the court to explain his actions just to see what the judge have to say about that. Police have to protect the community from drivers like this man.
