Quite. It seams many drivers consider speed to be absolute, and never think "can I stop in the distance I can see to be clear"

In fact many driver, and motorcyclists alike have little or no idea how quickly they can stop their vehicle, many motorcyclist can't even use their brake to the best effect!

Only the clean ones.

Glad to see you are on the mend, at best the other driver should have been arrested at the scene on suspicion of careless driving. I would be pushing the Police to charge him with something.

But yet again, the Tenere proves itself in crashes.... not many bikes come out of a crash this well.
