Yes, you might still crash. But you have more time to respond, more time to slow down before hitting, and go at a lower speed to begin with.

I've been hit side on by a car, when I was about 10, while crossing the road. Apparently the car that hit me overtook the car turning right at the intersection. I don't remember the actual hit, it was at about 60 kph according to the police report. I had a broken leg and a severe concussion, the bicycle was quite dead. Anyway pretty survivable at 60. Dunno about 90, apparently it's not.


ouch, sad to hear. you got lucky. i saw people die in news with way slower speeds. was it inside or outside the town ?

thats why i keep the speed limits. and dont do silly stuff to get myself/other killed. but you never know ...
sad things always happen. sometimes you are at no fault, but still sad to see someone die/get injured.
