If he was doing 150 then theres no need to throw him in a jail. But 300 is too dangerous to himself and other ppl on the road. The punishment should correspond to the extent of the offense.

 

[Wasted]

Explain to me the last time rear ending someone killed the driver of the rear ended vehicle.

I know a guy who was driving a 1/2 ton pick up that was rear ended by a SS at about 100-150kmh closing speed. The rider was killed instantly, and you're right, the driver wasn't killed. But he's had 3 surgeries on his neck, had vertibrae fused, couldn't work anymore, is in constant pain, and has a lowered quality of life in general. you don't have to be killed to be affected

There was only grass median separating the two directional highways...although not to say that with those speeds even a concrete barrier could easily be breached by the bike flying over over it. With those excessive speeds, a glancing blow off the side of one of those cars could easily send him over into oncoming with very little speed reduction anytime he is in the air.

It is pretty damn discouraging to read comments with so much tunnel vision, and so little imagination...and ignorance on a stratospheric level with regards to physics.

There is an old saying that has the potential to serve those posters well, if heeded..the more you open your mouths, the more you reveal how very little you really know in the grand scheme of things.

I don't see the big deal, nor do I understand how they managed to track him down, nor why they would waste police dollars and time on this.

He didn't hurt anyone, he was in full control and never at any moment did he do anyhing outright wreckless that put anyone else but his own life in danger.

If he hits your car he's going to die and insurance will fix your **** up, that's what insurance is for.

Why do they even make bikes go that fast if we can't ever go that fast? It's like putting a table of blow surrounded by hookers in front of me and saying I can't have either and then arresting me when I give in to my temptations

a car doing 100kmh hit from behind at 300kph, the bike will be half way through the car, and the little kids in the back will be killed. thats why.

Those are T-bones in an intersection... care to explain how that would happen on a hwy?

Likelihood of a T-bone on the hwy is negligible... you're correct. But regardless of where the impact occurs, at those speeds the chances of the occupant of a vehicle emerging unscathed are low. Not to mention the potential for a collision that would result from a driver having to take evasive action on the highway. Right or wrong, nobody "expects" a motorcycle to fly past them between lanes at those speeds. Introducing that sort of element simply increases the likelihood of catastrophe both directly and indirectly. These assertions that the rider is only endangering "themselves" are asinine...

Well that sucks.

Still, I maintain that the guy was in full control and nothing happened.

You can't charge someone for what ifs.

I think its really ****** that the cops charged a little old lady as some form of blackmale to cause the guy to come forward.

 

[OpenGambit]

why the hell not? insert the "attempted anything" charge.

you get charged for dangerous driving, drunk driving, firing a gun into the air, those are all essentially "what if" offences.

 

[Jerico]

I would think hitting the back of a car at 150 km/hr (or driving 250 and hitting a car going 100, same diff) would look a little like this picture.

The fact is that hitting a car with a car would be very different than with a bike. The bike would centre all the force into a small space (like a telephone pole) versus a car bumper spreading it out (more like a wall).

 

[Acadian1974]

Let me guess, you go to YorkU.

Ahhh, York's not that bad... I've got a couple York faculty members in my research group, sharp bunch!

I have to agree with you here....there's a good chance that he's only going to hurt himself.
Of course if its ok for him to drive like that, then I suppose it would be ok for someone to cut him off into a ditch.
But hey....I say everyone for themselves

You do realize, that if you let someone ride your bike you are also responsible for their actions, right?

This dude was apparently fine with letting his mom take the heat for him. Shows what kind of regard and respect he has for other people.
However, she likely is an enabler to his behavior. There is NO WAY my mom would have EVER put any of my toys under her name for any reason. If I couldn't afford them on my own then I simply didn't get it.

I bet he wears a douchevest

You're just obsessed with that aren't you...

You've gotta be trolling. If not and ride this way I hope you get your license/bike revoked.

At what point do you decide something is worth being charged for? A street bum follows you into your home, sleeps on your bed, uses your phone to call his buddies over who lounge around smoking up the place, they pass around your clothing to wear (with the intention of returning it clean). Where's the harm?

Unbelievable. You obviously don't have a clue. You don't hold a bike license, do you?

:lmao:

a license is just a tax grab, doesn't stop you from riding if your going to break the law.

Well, what if you could actually spell and know what you are talking about, unless you have some kind of deep hidden meaning behind "some form of blackmale???"

Also, how is what the cops doing any ******** than the what he is doing, letting poor old mommy take the fall, probably not the first time.
