Came across these crash tests conducted by Italy's Sicurauto. By looking at these tests i get a feeling that smaller cars no matter how safely equipped they are, will always result in a disaster when involving in a collision with bigger cars, God forbid.. Various testing authorities normally conducted the crash tests against a static object, but in real life if a crash is occurred with another moving vehicle then its a total disaster.. Now does that mean that a bigger car having a 3 star rating is still safer than a smaller car with 5 star rating??
Anyway, the purpose to share these videos is that most of our people believe that if their cars are equipped with ABS & Airbags then they have the liberty to take them beyond the limits.. All the safety features have the ability to protect the occupants up to some extent only.. these tests were conducted at 64km/h, most of our folks drive beyond insane speed like 140km/h and try to capture the video to post it here at PW..
All the cars tested above have a high crash test rating, whereas none of our locally produced vehicle can match the safety standard of the cars above.. so try to visualize that the result would be much more horrible if such incident occurs here. Be safe for you & for others on road!
