    Vanishing point .... also known as the limit point.

    Defined in The Police Rider's Handbook as .." the furthest point along a road to which you have an uninterrupted view of the road surface. On a level stretch of road this will be where the right-hand side of the road appears to intersect with the left-hand side of the road.
    To ride safely you must be able to stop on your own side of the road within the distance you can see to be clear - that is, the distance between you and the limit point.
    Match your speed to the speed at which the limit point moves away from you, providing you can stop within the distance that you can see to be clear.
    The technique of limit point analysis is to match your speed to the speed at which the limit point appears to move. If it is moving away from you, accelerate. If it is coming closer or staying standing still, decelerate or brake".

    All part of the System .... IPSGA .... Information - Position - Speed - Gear - Acceleration.
