basically, sticking to the speed limit saves peoples lives.. Me mate today got hit by a car going 45 in a 30 area. It was so bad, hes ok now though. He is ****ing lucky that hes alive. If the car was going 30 it would have been no where near as bad. Just think if you were the driver, how you would be feeling. So basically stick to the speed limit in 30 roads and reasonable speeds in others
 
to be fair he didnt look out.. but he walked out, saw the car, tried to run out the way.. if the driver was goin 30 he could have easily run forward in time, but no, it was just a clean hit, flew through the air a few meters and landed on the road
 
o dear

seriously people wtf, i dont even know what to say

how was i blaming the driver.. and he stepped out as the road was clear when he first looked but as he was going to fast he went round the corner and me mate stepped out. It was a seat Ibiza S.

also if that person wasnt ragging his car he would hve been able to break in time, he wouldnt have got hit.. Whats with all the anger and stuff you bunch of fish

Let's imagine that your friend stepped out into the road when the car was 100 feet distant, about 6 car lengths away. At 30 MPH, 44 feet/second, it would take the car 1.51r seconds to reach the point of impact. At 45 MPH, 66 feet/second, it would take the car 2.27r seconds to reach the point of impact. If the car'd been traveling at the speed limit and made no course modifications it would have given your friend 0.75r more seconds to evade.

Would he have been able to evade in that time?

put that into google map, you see the bend in the road coming from the top down, he looked, walked for about 2-3 seconds and stepped out, if he stuck to the speed limit, he would have easily managed to get out of the way. Me mates fault for being reckless but his fault for driving too fast...
