Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

Not my opinion, the doctor's. Yeah, he should have been looking but then the driver should have checked his fuel gauge before he set out on his journey and then he wouldn't have run out of diesel. I've been riding for over 25 years and I've come of at slowish speeds whilst climbing in the ice more than once and my head has hit the ground. I don't know what would have happened had I not been wearing a lid.

What have you based the 'he would have probably survived' on exactly?

And I'm not sure the most competent rider in the world would ride into a stationary object such as a parked car would they?

(This is just picking up on your points and no disrespect intended)
