Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
Maybe just maybe there is a glimmer of hope that the loud chants of the Speed kills mantra are reducing.

Some pretty general terms used Loss of control covers a multitude is sins as it were, root causes and effects.

I wonder what effect the major strides being taken in road car safety are having on the KSI figures.


er anyone know what the speed record is for blind drivers at the mo' well over 150MPH last time I heard.

Failing to "see" the accident coming is the problem, a combination of what the eye sees (plus other other inputs) and what the brain makes of that information.

If you see something you need to be able to assess the image to take the necessary action.

Thats why I mentioned the speed record, no visual inputs, they rely on other inputs such as feel, sound and have a helper to do SOME of the calculation about what action to take.

Hence the noisy can debate, Motorcyclists can't always rely on others seeing them, so some hope they can hear them, with a V twin booming away some might even be able to feel them!!
