It's not a defence but sometimes going much faster than everything else means you are past things before they can move to try and kill you. |
And if someone decides to make a swerve from one lane to another - perhaps they're close to missing an exit (I've seen this many times), or they're having an argument in the car, or they get a flat tyre, or they run out of fuel, or they have a breakdown (I've seen this), or a fox runs onto the motorway (I've seen this) or any of a whole bunch of reasons - 30 metres in front of you, you won't have time to avoid.
It takes very little change of direction for a chosen line at that speed to become a certain accident.
The probability of such a swerve is low when the traffic is moving quickly, but not very low. I'd say you'd see one every 10 hours or so.
30 metres at 100mph is 0.67 seconds; plenty of time for a car's swerve to start and block the path between two vehicles. Slowing from 100 to 70 at 1.5G (optimistic!) takes 0.9 seconds. Making a big avoidance swerve in very little space at 100mph? Good luck with that.
And I think he was going faster than 100mph. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

It's good news for the statistics, a certain amount of bikers have to die every year otherwise motorbikes would seem too safe and no longer be cool. ____________________ Yamaha FZR400RR 3tj

sigh. there may be "skill" involved but that will not protect you from drivers.
How can you expect them to see you in their mirror if you are going so fast?! ____________________ CBT- 2012 Theory- 18/12/13 Mod 1- 07/01/14 Mod 2- 15/01/14
