Default NBC NEWS: Squid Uses His Head Instead of Brakes

A truck was traveling down the highway at around 1 o'clock in the morning near Tulsa , Oklahoma .

Motorcyclist was traveling at ~120mph and ran into the back of the moving semi-trailer.

Truck driver said he felt the impact, and it took almost a 1/4 mile for him to pull over.

This is what he found...

this is old - the guy did NOT live - he was very much dead when the trucker found him

going too fast and weaving through traffic is dangerous. for you and for others around you.

REALLY? Looks like he was very dead... This is the first time I was given this and I thought I'd seen them all.

Yea I saw that about a year ago, I think we all need to see that and similar stuff once in a while as a good reminder. I mean stuff can happen if you are just going the speed limit or less and paying attention. Thanks for the reminder man.
