Texting and Speed Kill.

[Ken7]

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 rider's 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 MOBILE phone!!!
A picture is worth a thousand words.

Save a life. Stop talking on mobile phones and Texting while trying to drive.
The life you save may be your own..... Or mine...

Keep passing this on so everyone will see what can happen by using a mobile PHONE while driving

A tragic accident yes, but checking the original accident reports from 2003 this had nothing to do with the use of a cell phone, but more to do with an inexperienced motorcyclist driving at an excessive speed.

It was only after many years that the cell phone angle was added to posts.

Be it texting which I also questioned, speed obviously a factor here. If the driver of the bike had more time to react, chances are this would not have been a triple loss.
