Probably pearoast, but copper stands out into road in front of bikes doing 80mph or so, in foggy conditions and causes an accident
https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5c4_1388933726

I know the bikes aren't faultless either, those speeds in those conditions is a bit silly but come on, step out on to a road in low visibility expecting bikes to stop that quickly? What a cretin4

I have witnessed the same thing with a speed camera. Sometimes these things cause more harm than not.

Meh. More front, less rear and he'd have stopped it.

Hope he didn't damage his mates bike.

If you can't stop in time for a stationary speed trap, you had no right doing that sort of speed.

If you can't leave a big enough gap to stop when your mate does, you're a cunt and have no business riding with anyone else because only a cunt hits the man in front.

Therefore, the rider in question was a cunt and the accident was entirely his own fault. The copper didn't cause the accident, the riders incompetance did. You'll notice the guys riding in front of AND behind him both managed to stop comfortably and the guy on the green bike had a good 5-10 metres less stopping distance.

I would've stopped long before I got to the copper.

They have a hard time giving you a "What if I'd been a small child or a kitten?" speech if you make them walk 20 yards back up the road to where you stopped. Takes the wind right out of their sails. I've had it happen and got let off doing 60 in a 30 zone because of it. Coppers first words were "Well done for stopping.".

The first bike did stop that quickly though, which suggests the second rider was going too quickly/wasn't pay attention/was too close.

The guy behind seems to have little idea how to stop a bike.

FTFY

The first guy stopped hard, look at the compression of the forks, the second guy first has to register why the first guy is stopping, then notice the policemanofficer.

Second guys reactions weren't going to be as good as the firsts, and the SV has terrible brakes, the rear is better than the front, probably explains the lock up.... not condoning their riding, even though we all ride in a similar fashion every now and then.

But on the exit of a bend, in thick fog and just stepping into the road like that? The copper is a cretin.

Nope.

As has already been said, the first guy stopped (he had the least warning of all) the third guy stopped and if SV650 brakes are as bad as you make out, then the second guy should've allowed for that.

The traffic officer was just doing his job (and kinda proved his point, what if it was a child suddenly running into the road, or a car on it's side) the guy who crashed was the cretin.

The second rider was going way too fast/not paying attention I would of thought, but its a stupid place and poor weather to have a speed gun out considering a lot of peoples reactions in my opinion. Either way - road safety failure :roll:https://i40.tinypic.com/10zyc6d.jpghttps://i43.tinypic.com/16iihbd.jpghttps://i43.tinypic.com/2h6g7q9.jpghttps://i43.tinypic.com/24pxg75.jpg

Just so I'm clear, the "copper is a cretin" take on it is that in bad weather, you should be allowed to ride any way you like because it would be dangerous to try and stop you? Thinking

It's just a pity there was a camera crew there, otherwise the 1st and 3rd boss-riders might have stinkwheeled their way out of it.

To be very honest, I think that it's a bit of a default anyway, regardless. Wink

Loads of space to the right of the first rider where he had stopped.

IOM mountain, perfect place for people to be stopping quickly considering there is no speed limit Wink

Even so, if a kid ran out onto an NSL road and a biker was speeding and couldn't stop in time, I wouldn't actually blame the biker. Just because they were speeding doesn't necessarily mean that if they weren't speeding they would be able to stop in time.

Plus, if a kid's running out into an NSL road with passing traffic then imo that's just darwins theory at work...

All this hate, when the copper was asked to do it.

The rider was at fault, no one else.

Aaa yes, the copper was in the wrong for doing what was pre-planned in the road safety video. Rolling Eyes
