Mark W Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'd imagine it'd be the same as the speed limit for the area, although you'd do pretty well to break the speed limit anywhere, apart from maybe a 20mph zone?Muel - it was 25 and 30, I think.http://sggoodri.home.mindspring.com/sidewalks/SpeedKills.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 You deliberatly undermined Tomturd ? Bann ?Haha, I did consider that I'd imagine it'd be the same as the speed limit for the area, although you'd do pretty well to break the speed limit anywhere, apart from maybe a 20mph zone?Muel - it was 25 and 30, I think.There won't be a speed limit as such, you just have to reverse safely. Like I said before, driving in reverse at 15 mph the steering is incredibly twitchy so any faster is just dangerous, regardless of the speed limit of the road.

I'm hungry Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 there shouldnt be, it was said half the legal speed limit because it was assumed the limit was 30 mph because he was in a town.i just went out to the gym, came out carpark was empty and reversed my van till it got to 15mph and to be honest its pretty quick for reversing speed.also i think this thread is quite a bad idea because if it does get used as evidence most of beaus replies say it was just an accident, owell...not the smartest thing to say, guy could die, family would go through hell and he replies with owell... have a bit of sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Fel Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 At 30mph, there's around an 80% chance I'll live. At 40mph, there's around an 80% chance I'll die.Wasn't that the advert slogan? I just assumed that at 20mph there be a higher chance still of survival.Are you an 8 year old girl? *watches video of mule... Close enough.ha ha sorry mule.Here's a new question... At what point did you brake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavyn. Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hey, if it was Gav, he'd have pulled a samurai sword with built in CS gas out or some crazy shit Only messing Gav hahaanyway I bet the police never called it an accident. I don't think there is a maximum speed limit in reverse basically if your going to fast then its driving without due care.what I can't beleive though is this guys in a coma. one of my friends was fooling about clinging onto the bumper of the car while it was going about 3 mph. The driver braked hard and my friend fell off and hit his head he was in a coma for nearly a month and in the end he died. my friend was 17, you've hit someone who's 75 and much more vunrable yet your still dossing around like you couldn't give a shit. you do realise that if this guy dies you will go to jail maybe for months or maybe for 14 years I don't know how long but what I do know is that you will have ruined your chances of ever owning any decent cars, you'll be lucky to get a job and chances are your turn into a complete waste of oxygen. yet despite all of that you don't seem to care if i was you i'd be inconsolable and i'd be in contact with the police every day to check for changes in his condition i'd have had a lawyer there from the minute the police had arrived. I wouldn't be posting about this on the internet after all any lawyer will google your name and interests looking for anything to screw you with.
