[QUOTE="Deacon51, post: 742708, member: 18223"] Safe? Safe is a relative term. You are never safe, it's all a matter of your willingness to accept/avoid risk. I would guess sitting back with your hands off the bars would add, IDK, maybe as much as 4 seconds to your reaction time. Thats, what... 117 feet per second at 80 MPH. Add in the normal 3 seconds and your looking at ~820 feet before you can get on the breaks. Another, 180 feet to stop, if your lucky and good. So, a deer comes out across the interstate 2/10ths of a mile ahead of you (and you see it) your done. [/QUOTE]
