I don't know if this has been posted before, But i've just read it and it's very eye opening, worth stickying, and when you have some time I 100% recommend EVERYONE reads this.

This link has little bits like a more in depth how it happened.

scary turn of events... These things are terrible and when i was down in cornwall i saw something similar only just be avoided, luckily it was a wide enough road for the on comer to move out of the way in time. It shows you really have to be careful at all times because anything can happen

I have seen it before, gave me a very real feeling of "that could happen to me".

just been reading this and its a good read and as said an eye opener. Weve all pushed the boat out a little bit (although iv never over taken on a bend) and it makes you think twice, luckily i think all the regulars on this site a not tits and drive safe.

Thing is he was just giving it legs around a bend, he admits he wasn't over the speed limit, but was going around the corner too quick. Then lost control and ended up in the middle of the road, which then the biker crashed into his car. The realisation is just a bit of "sprinted" driving as we call it, can lead to completley ruining someones life, and putting yourself into prison, which I would never want to even look at.

yeah like you said he wasnt going over the speed limit. just shows ya that even if its the speed limit still dont mean that you can go round that bend doing that speed.
