it's still under investigation, all i know is the driver of the truck said he couldn't move over because of oncomming traffic, there was no shoulder! as for my own personal opinion, i think the driver could have slowed down,what karl should have done is take the whole lane when he seen the oncomming traffic.but should have could have's are easy to talk about!

A friend of mine had a Reevu (it sacrificed itself so that he may live) and he really liked it. It's a bit heavier than a regular helmet and the view presented is not cristal clear, but it is effective enough in picking up approaching traffic. I personally think the jury is still out, but it is an interesting concept.
