| The crucial point here isn't the physics but the way in which the person failed to read the road and 'turn a bit sharpish' in the first place. So if I was sitting in the vehicle and discussing it the conversation to help would not be about the physics involved but their failure to observe, consider... |

| I think the Highway code should include a 'courtesy sign'.... triangle or circular, not sure yet.... should be placed at school arenas..... I watched a car stop paralel to a parked car in order to reverse into the space behand it.... it was obvious her intentions and she was careful to wait for buss... |

| Why the concentration on momentum ? I think Big Tone makes a very valid point too when he writes, If you needed to know the technical details and physics behind riding a bike, most of us would never have learnt. As Steve puts it so well... .. and then quotes Steve's valid points, that you have yet ... |

| Quote:This is a very valid point which got me thinking. There is undoubtedly a lot more road rage, bad driving and un courteousness on the roads now, than when I started driving in the early seventies and I really do wonder, if it is a throw up from the amount of un necessary control that we find o... |

| Not trying to look for problems ,but - "Momentum exists " , seems something like another snappy saying "Speed kILLS ". Yep... a tag title... an identity for reference for those that consider andor discuss its subject..... just a small subject relative to your next suggestion....... |

| Momentum (as has been explained to me by a top high performance driving consultant (also teaches anti-hijack driving too ...) is not the factor involved when someone spins off the road as has been more commonly thought. Can he get me a drive on touring cars somewhere? :) (not hi-jack one though). B... |

| hummmm... looks like trying to fit examples to the theme ? more circular than just your line... the theme was thought of because some examples (all around mv) seemed to fit p (so a theme chosen)... wise to verify... now add your line. remember the concept is out to air the idea..... the 'examples' ... |

| C.O.A.S.T. Thanks for the link.... It's concise, it has topdollar substance, nice effort to compile. :) The MOMENTUM EXISTS was thought of (to start JUST ME ...but growing steadily) as a bottom line type of meaning TBH, I'm not sure I 'get' what you are trying to convey with that phrase. p = mv and... |

Hi SafeSpeedv2 Thanks for observations.... re CWM... this has lots of concept projects (not all published on the site) The two you refer two are: 1. Taxi Visitors Book 2. Road Saf... |

| Momentum is a minor concept in road safety. Something far more critical is driver awareness and reaction. The ability of other road users to interact safely and predictably is equally important. Why treat the symptoms instead of applying the cure? Steve... minor concept? this is just opinion.... I ... |
