A vehicle doing 50 takes about 24 meters to stop, this includes 9 meters for a persons reaction time. So they are telling us that the lights of this vehicle do not shine more than 10-20m and this would probably have been on high beam as well, otherwise they would have had time to stop. So we either have a very poor maintained vehicle or a very poor driver who should not have been driving on those roads at night then.
\O exactly what I think
all can happen in the park... and more by night 0*\

Don't think speed was the only problem... ;-)

A certain substance prevents serious injuries as the body is more relaxed...anyway, just my opinion. \O
