Accident London Bridge

@ Stradam "Its also too far and too much damage caused by the bike for it to be doing only 30."

Sorry that's just not true. I've snapped a motorbike in half hitting a car at about 20mph, side on. I've had many, many motorbike crashes and it's a fact that modern bikes spray plastic everywhere even in a 15mph slide.

Simple fact from the photo; the bike didn't travel far once over the reservation and remained largely intact. If it had been doing much more than 30, let alone 50 or 70, it would, in my opinion either have travelled a hell of a lot further or sustained a lot more damage.

I usually never contribute in these threads but assuming that just because a motorbike was involved means the rider was speeding and at fault is really counterproductive to road awareness. It only enforces an already stale stereotype that motorcyclists are the cause of their own accidents and discounts the unpleasant truth that the vast majority of accidents involving both Motorbikes and Cycles in London have nothing to do with speed and everything to do with 'sorry mate, didn't see you'.....
