Crusader 450 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 If he killed himself due to his own recklessnes...fair play. If he suffered some kind of medical issue...unfortunate. But he sure did a job on the car. Link to post Share on other sites

All the news reports do report that the speedometer was stuck at 220 Km/h. Hang no wonder there is so much road carnage if people cannot even read a car speedometer correctly. See the thin shorter line between the 200 and 220 mark, that's 210 Km/h. The next big line is thicker, that has the marking of 220. Next thin line is in fact 230Km/h. The speedometer gets stuck on the speed the vehicle was traveling at the time of impact, to aid in the follow up crash investigation.

And we've also lost the up arrow on the bottom right to return to the top of the page. You are quite right Bangkok Barry. If you click on my posts 3 dots, I have the edit option too, you only have two options. So you have to be correct with your first posting. But the other posts 3 dots have only two options too.

The position the ‘needle’ sticks on is reliant on the impact dynamics and is not representative of travelling speed. It has nothing to do with ‘crash investigation’. A dropped ‘speedo clock’ will register many possible final speeds the result based on nothing more than chance. Edit - the edit function still works (iPad anyway).
