Rant: Shitty fucking dangerous drivers

[Jackalope]

At a combined impact velocity of a hundred miles per hour

Opposing velocity vectors aren't additive like that.

I didn't suggest that the force or energy was. My intent was to illustrate that at highway speeds, mistakes leave little margin for reaction. I worded it poorly. Mea culpa, I was pretty upset at the time.

I have no doubt that the outcome would have been identical had the motorcyclist and his passenger been stationary and struck by a car traveling at 50mph rather than traveling in opposite directions at 50mph.

As is often the case with stories like this, it appears that the report of a third person evacuated by helicopter are not true, according to new reports. The driver of the SUV had only minor injuries.
