Cell
Phones and multi-tasking Read on and rethink the possible outcome of talking on a hand held cell phone whilst driving. Can you spot the motorbike in this photograph!
Now can you see it!
Apparently the driver of the car was talking on her phone whilst stopped at the approach to an intersection and proceeded to cross without noticing the motorbike that was estimated to be doing about 135kph at the time of impact. Obviously he could not stop and had nowhere to go. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 6m from where the collision took place. All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety Department. Wake up people, stop talking on Cell phones and sms-ing while trying to drive and don’t speed! This item was sent from a South African living in Ireland though the location of the accident is unknown.
