I was taught the same thing in the UK with some advanced rider courses that I did. Be seen and make sure you see as much as possible too. The position of you relative to the traffic around you is critical. It really helps avoid the whole “SMIDSY” issues (Sorry Mate I Didnt See You).

Amidoinitrite?

If this is how low someone’s flash point is that they’re deeply offended by this one they need to have thicker skin.

Nah. He took it down and apologized in the niqab time...

what are the chances he loses hijab

i think i get what you are saying....

I can hazard some guesses, but I don’t know what to think in the case of Ariel. Mermaids understand something very different when they hear “Roe versus wade.”

Cearly a case of insurance fraud. They were obviously underwater on the loan.

An auto-pilot system in a Tesla is designed and intended to relieve the diver of some strain during a long drive. It does not absolve the driver of the responsibilities to, among other things, keep an adequate visual lookout, monitor navigation and signs, and be ready to take over control at any moment. Equipping…

Also consider that the pedestrian was moving. She was hit by the right side of the car, given a little more time (car slowing down), it might be possible for her to completely out of the way.

The XC90 should require approximately (40/60)² as much distance to stop from 40MPH as it does from 60MPH, or about 52 feet. That’s with the system reacting instantly and everything going right. It would be close, but it’s possible she wouldn’t been hit at all.

Yes, it would have made a huge difference. At worst, it hits the pedestrian at a fraction of the velocity it actually impacted her with. At best, it stops or gives the woman a chance to make it out of the vehicle path.

I was thinking about this too, and I take the point that she might have survived at a slower speed. But I wonder how much space the cars needs to come to a stop at 40 mph. There is a lot less energy at 40 than at 60.

It actually may have been able to stop completely. Braking distances get much worse for every little bit faster the car is going. 60 to 0 is typically 110-120ft while 70-0 is well over 150ft.

Dropping to 25 miles per hour increases her chance of survival to 80%.

So much relief. Before I opened the hood I was wondering how many thousands of dollars of repairs I was in for.

I stalled out on the highway once in my STI. When I popped the hood a plastic bag had gotten sucked up and covered my air cleaner element. That was probably the easiest broke down on the side of the road fix I ever had.

North Korea is busy mobilizing low bridges as we speak.
