Re: Importance of surprise horizon

Re: Importance of surprise horizon
Good example, though not sure there's any difference between 'surprise horizon' and 'limit point' at that time. It is very deceptive on the video but the limit point is approximately 25yds. beyond the surprise horizon as the limit point had just started to accelerate away but not the surprise horiz...

Re: Best fetures to look for when buying a new car.
Stop start cuts in all the time on my car. I don't mind this if in London or in a hardly moving traffic jam. The silence is quite relaxing and soothes away some of the frustration from lack of progress. However I'm not so keen on a good country drive, so like it turned off on these occasions. Same ...

Re: Importance of surprise horizon
Video of my drive the other day. Excuse the "bloody hell" and "Gordon Bennett" Normally I don't make exclamations. Speed limit for road 40mph. How would I have faired if on a motor bike? Brings home the importance of the surprise horizon and using that to adjust speed so you can...

Re: Importance of surprise horizon
It is possible they turned right from the single track lane just passed the bridge. The track leads to a school. I'm pretty sure when I glanced in the mirror the car was still in the middle of the road and appeared to be just starting to move back to my side of the road (but I might be wrong). The ...

Re: Importance of surprise horizon
Nice drive John - and good reactions. I couldn't see the oncoming driver - do you reckon they were distracted perhaps on a phone or just very badly positioned? Hi Martin. No chance of seeing the driver. I was more focused on the front of the car hoping it would move back on side. Can't tell from th...
