RWDboy Forums Junkie Location: South Australia Registered: July 2002	Re: R.I.P RA23 Celica Thu, 02 January 2003 16:33 Just thought I'd add my two cents. I am totally sure that going through an orange light has never been illegal in S.A. The rule of the orange light is to stop if it is safe to do so...(I wish they'd take the part about "if it's safe to do so" more seriously though) Another thing. 2-3 car lengths gap from rear bumper to front bumper is probably about 15 metres at 60km/h. Which equates to approximately .9 of a second. Reaction time given you are paying complete 100% attention to their rear brake lights (visual movement is actually one of our slower reactionary senses) is about a third of a second leaving you .6 of a second to reduce your speed from 60 to zero. Obviously this maths is crap because they don't instantly stop infront of you, but you kind of get the picture. 2 - 3 car lengths is very little safety gap. However stopping in this circumstance turns out to be rather easy when you slam the car in front of you It's a pain when this happens, and unfortunately I think rear-ending is the only type of accident where there is no contributory negligence on the part of the car infront. And it defintely sucks to lose another Celica Live and learn is my motto! [Report message to a moderator]
