The Honda crotch rocket rider was traveling at approximately 85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the motorcycle. The riders reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place.  All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety Department. 
Pass this on to car drivers or soon to be new drivers, or new motorcycle owners AND ESPECIALLY EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS A CELL PHONE!!!!!   
 A picture is worth a thousand words.
Wake up people , Stop talking on Cell phones and
Texting while trying to drive. Put your Cell phone
in the back seat !!!

Three people are dead

Three people are dead

thought he said they lived- that wouldn't make sense.

Also, the mention of essentially "forward this to everybody" made it seem like a chain letter.

forward to everyone to show them what talking on a mobile phone while driving brings about

I agree nobody should ever text while driving.  Talking on a cell phone is a little different.

I've worked for several companies that have replaced mobile radios with cell phones and have not seen accidents increase.  It's all about paying more attention to driving than talking.  Sometimes in heavy traffic you just don't answer the phone.  Sometimes you need to pull over to the side of the road to talk.

The fact that the guy on the bike was doing 85 mph in an area where there were side streets makes him as much, or even more, at fault than the woman on the cell phone.  BTW, I've had more than half a dozen bikes.  When you are on a bike you just have to assume that all the other drivers are idiots and don't see you.

I do support banning any one under 18, or maybe even 21, from talking while driving.  At that age you are still learning to drive and don't need the added distraction of a cell phone.

So.. if the woman wasn't on the phone at the time (which was three years ago when this happend)- The motorcycle rider was still going way over the speed limit.

Besides, what if she was a smoker? you know as well as I do if that was the case they would have ruled the cause of death to be from smoking.

I love how we're blaming the person on the cellphone when it was the motorcycle rider who just got their license and was going over the speed limit.

"it's alright to blast down roads at 85 miles per hour, just don't use a cellphone while you do it"


This is WHY there is a speed limit. if the motorcycle rider was going the speed limit, he would have been able to avoid the VW. additionally, again- what would have happened if the woman wasn't on the cellphone? would she have had supernatural perceptive powers and been able to predict that somebody would be going three times the speed limit and she should wait?

I can see the newspapers headlines:

"drunk driver collides with parked car. Woman found on cellphone with a cigarette inside facing charges for killing the man with her second hand smoke"

Pretty much says it all...

If you pull out of the side street, you're not going to see the motorcycle. By the time you do, phone or no phone, it'll be too late to do anything.
