I agree with you. But at the same point, they teach defensive driving for this very reason. You can still see somebody going "APPROXIMATELY 70 to 80 mph" pretty clearly. If you can't should I fear driving anywhere in the area of you on the interstate? That is 75 after all. Are you going to not see me because of my rate of speed? Shit, I could be doing 90 and I hope to god you can see me.Better yet, Can you see Dave going down the track at 8.6 @ 159 mph or w/e he ran it at? Pretty sure you can.
Thats DOUBLE what this biker was doing and yet you can still see daves car? How come you can't see this biker?
Ok ok.. your going to use the "it was a small object" card on me.
So be it.
My answer to that is:
Can you see the rockets at the track going down the track at 130-150 mph? Pretty sure you can.
Now my question to you all is (before I get whored some more):
Why would you pull out in front of someone that you can see is going at an excessive rate of speed for the fear of your life or someone else's?I was going to edit this down....but I'll address it all (again)...from my POV
She looked left saw some traffic at about the bank that was going normal speeds (at the time she checked)....so she saw an opening and went for it....same time dude shit cans it. Mind you she still thinks traffic is 35 mph or so so she thinks her only concern is traffic heading south and she's trying to find a spot to merge.... Logic would tell me that if you are on the bike, you would look for things like this BEFORE you break several traffic laws by accelerating at stupid speeds, exhibition driving, etc...things like a BIG FUCKING SUV cutting across traffic should be painfully obvious to see. Maybe I need to worry about motorcycle drivers, they seem to not be able to see big vehicles and there is nothing I hate worse than washing brains off my window and door frame.

In other words...when she looked and started moving...he was going slow....he shit-canned it and did his impersonation of a grasshopper hitting a windshield after HE fucked up by not noticing the GIGANTIC suv.

Nope, but one should have enough brain power to no that an object is coming towards you at an excessive rate of speed and that you should not pull out into traffic in front of this guy. DOH!And when one is driving, you constantly looking around at your surrounds to make sure everything is safe. Obviously she did not do that.
Cmon parker, you can do better. I still havent seen an explanation and why cannot see a object moving at 80 mph.
not if you glance... you will not see how fast some dumbfuck on a bike is going... remember this is rush hour traffic.. you either move, or you sit and wait forever.... she glanced and saw she had space, and went... she did not expect a dipshit to be going eleventybillion miles an hour... -
Parker, if you can't tell the difference between 30-40mph and 80mph stop driving.
Chuck, I see your point. But your telling me you only look once? There is a fault right there. I personally look each direction MULTIPLE times (as I was taught in my driving course(maybe they should be making this mandatory for ALL drivers)).

drivers ed is required in ND to get your license before age 16...so she has taken it...
Maybe she did look twice...first time he was starting to come through the intersection, 2nd he was at the bank...both times not speeding. Of course I am merely speculating on what she did. I know EXACTLY what he did however....and that was a great grasshopper vs windshield @ 80mph impersonation.

I see all of your points. And im saying mine. But your ignorance is getting the best of you.
Chuck, I'm all speculation as is the rest of this thread. (As of now, I'm just continuing to waste parker's nite trying to make him think he's accomplishing something by calling me a fucking retard and to kill myself. its great).

i see what you are saying... you are just to dumb to really think about what chuck ,zac and i are saying..... and letting you think you are getting to me is the best part of all of this n00b -
I HAVE A GREAT IDEA! HOW BOUT WE REDO THE SCENE!
I'll be the biker going at an excessive rate of speed on 1 wheel and getting splattered on the windshield while parker is the moron who can't tell the difference between 30-40mph and 80mph.
Fair enough?

Next track day go to the end of the track and glance at a bike coming down the strip and I guarantee you will see that it looks way slower than it is actually going, especially without a headlight for reference.
Had he been going the speed limit I know he would have been able to brake or swerve to avoid this. Honestly who else is there to blame for 1 persons stupid actions.

I have always wanted to be a BAMF....
so can i be Chuck?

basically, the only speculation on my part is that she looked twice. When she started turning, there was plenty of room and he was still going slower, for whatever reason he accelerated at the same time she entered into traffic.

God you are fucking retarded...........It is a hell of alot harder to determine the speed of something traveling directly at you... i don't care who you are
compared as to watching a bike from the side at the track

Make sure you take out parkers bright lights when you die, Cuz they are fucken bright when they are behind you.:icon_thumleft:
I dont think you get the point of what these other people are saying. So no matter if the girl is dumb and lets say pulled out in front of him, He is dumber for ramming a big SUV. Girl: 1 Bike: 0
So the guy was doing something stupid, Just like parker said earlier, Natural Selection at its best.
