As reported on BBC Welsh News;
Motorcyclist Lee Beddis from Ebba Vale was killed when he hit a car at 100mph on a single carriageway road while travelling to work.
In May 2002 Mr Beddis made legal history when he was convicted for riding past a police camera at 155mph, then the fastest speed ever recorded on the public highway. It led to a years ban.
The coroner recorded a verdict of Death by Misadventure.

Natural selection, isn't it? Feel sorry for whoever he hit, can't imagine what they must be going through.

I personally would say it was death by sheer stupidity.

Yeah, whatever.
So somehow, 100mph is 'sheer stupidity'?
Me, I feel sorry for his relatives, and won't rush to judge.
Big Brother isn't just a TV programme...its an attitude.

It is when you ride into the back of a Peugeot 106.

The article in the link above says (amongst other things)
Deputy Gwent Coroner Wendy James said: "It is apparent that Mr Beddis was driving at such an excessive speed that he was unable to take any effective, evasive action.
"The sole reason for Mr Beddis's death was the outrageous speed at which he was travelling on a quiet country lane."
That's the formal judgement, let's leave it at that. Thread locked.
