I find that one hard to believe. Maybe 25 mph. Not like 25mph isn't enough to kill you in that situation, but I just can't see 50mph without the bike coming out from under you and you sliding right into the hummer.
This had to be a right-to-left turn, correct?
If you were seriously going 50 AND able to hit the apex that means that the road would have to be about twice as wide as any country road I have seen

Alot of speeding is caused by these god damn old people doing 15 under the speed limit...i know if im following one for more than 30 seconds i am raging and have my foot ready to hit the floor as soon as possible. They say its the speeder that causes the accident when usually its the person before the speeder that caused him to speed that initially "caused" the accident...These god damn people driving so slow **** me off if they just did 5 to 10 MPH over the speed limit there wouldnt be a problem and probably fewer accidents for sure considering that know one would be raging about in and out of traffic due to people going slow...
Had to let some steam out on the first post i came across...sorry guys
I know that street racing does cause accidents and im not saying that it doesnt. I was just letting some steam out!

That sucks but like g35sedan5a said "half the people here are gona say how horrible this is and it is, its solely the result of street racing. but more than 50% of them on the forums have done it and done it more than once and until tracks are built to compensate for the growing street racing scene there will be street racers". I don't think a lot of states do much to compensate the import scene anyways.
#36
of course they dont...its the american way, "my way or the highway"...so they see the import scene as somethign to shut up, not accomodate. they dont want to negotiate with the tuners because most people do not repsect us for that. the day tracks are a common thing is the day street racing will decline dramatically. sure, people will still do it, its the adrenaline rush, but for the most part, people will take it to the track!

Look at Paul Newman, he is in his 70s and still races fairly well, all things considered!

now in my opinion what happened to this lady was tragic. Dying from any auto accident is unfortunate and lets be honest we dont know if they were street racing or not i think it depends on the number of witnesses etc. In my opinion speeding is speeding and if you choose to do it then realize you are taking a huge risk. Also what i think people ned to realize is the average driver in the US of A is not adequately trained to drive a car. If you have driven in countries such as switzerland, germany, austria, spain etc you would realize that we hand out driver license's like condoms at a teen clinic Again im not condoning anyone doing such excessive speeds in what sounds like a low key residential area but my rant is regarding how most people including this lady probably could have avoided pulling out in front of 2 cars going twice the posted limit if they had proper vehicle training.

referring to the guy who said something about driving in europe... ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!
......take this in, in Germany you have to be 18 in order to get your license (which means i wouldnt have it yet), getting a license costs $2000, and you MUST have sessions with a private instructor before you obtain you license.!
......at the end of the day, more than half the people in the US cant drive and 75% have ZERO driving ediquette(not sure if i spelled that right )

Placing the blame on another other for your own actions is Immature Idiot Indicator Numero 2!

NismoG's comments lead me to believe that he is immature. Do you conclude otherwise?
