Hitting Road Debris
I recently hit a two by four in the middle of the road going about 50 mph. Luckily I hit it square on and rode right over it. The question I have is What do you think would have happened if the 2x4 was on a 45 degree angle. would that have pushed me into oncoming traffic of would I have just rode over it as before. Anybody do this?

In the middle 50's a motor officer in Detroit was riding the center of his lane when he hit a common brick. He was killed in the accident.

I worry mosty about retread debris, looks very dangerous no matter what angle you hit it.
