Case Studies

Here are four real-world 'incidents' that demonstrate the importance of understanding the fundamentals included in the Safety Tip articles.


Conspicuity

We drive a green car ... and we kill a motorcyclist. We didn't see him despite the fact that we have unobstructed vision for 1000 feet both ahead and behind us. Yep, we turned left in front of him.

Speed Kills

A lady motorcyclist dies. We want to find out who killed her. Sometimes you simply have to ask 'what if?'

Target Fixation

A woman rider in Texas, second in a group of three, mid-afternoon, perfect weather, excellent road conditions: in a curve she steers her motorcycle across a double line and into an oncoming pickup truck.

Honda 1800 Goldwing Runaway
