| Yes i aggree about the speed, i dont believe it was said, although there are formulas for working it out from a variety of means, not least the rather extensive striations left by the bike.
When will we understand that whether right or wrong speed limits, white lines are there! " its allright your worships, ive assessed the road, and the white lines are indeed wrong, it was safe to overtake!" yeah right, your going to get off with that one. If they are there, you have to, 1) accept what they are trying to tell you, 2) abide by them!
We did see the impact marks on the car, with the damage to the offside rear, and the extent of the 'punt' that put it towards the post. Both damaged vehicles, the st170 and the bike, were travelling in the same direction.
Witnesses, we all know that two people will watch the same thing and give completely different stories, but you still have to listen to what they say. ps, dont get so hung up on your own abilities.
Where did it say it was a 600 bandit? as they did it as a 1200 aswell, i bet one of those could get near to that figure.
He was found guilty, and got 61/2 yrs. A jury (made up of the public) obviously had no doubt who was in the wrong.
In my humble experiences, all im trying to say is that there is a fine line between having "a moment" and what ends up as total carnage.
That may be a key to why such large perameters are put on things like speed limits and white lines?  |
