The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Cam" Thread Vol 3
Discussion
Surprised we haven't seen detailed diagrams dissecting the Morgan/Peugeot crash. You know the types with potential trajectory lines, angle measurements, thinking distances, braking distances, etc.

People complain when I posted links with no titles, now being told told not to copy and paste titles from the original uploader. Cheers!

Just can't win on PH...
Would a prologue suffice? Any number of characters you'd like me to adhere to?
I'll continue to copy and paste the titles - feel free to message the YT uploader asking them why their video merits your attention before you click play.

OEM spec Pug brakes are very good......but who knows what is fitted or how old/poorly maintained they are.
have you driven a 1.1 206? they are usually 247mm solid discs, they are by far the s
test brakes I've ever seen on a car, I thought they were bad on a lighter 106, a heavier 206 is worse!how many times do people practice emergency stops? driving test and thats probably it, i'd be surprised if that 206 had ABS.

ABS was an option on the lower level cars I think.

What average car do you know who could stop in that distance, assuming he isn't doing 10 mph of course, and time apart from none.
It has been explained in so many posts.
Didn't need to stop, just match the speed of the Morgan.It has been explained in so many posts.
To me, it looks like the Pug driver wasn't anywhere near hard enough on the brakes.
Although, if the trend towards buying 'Triangle' (or similar) tyres has carried over to other components, you may find that the Pug was running those Chinese Brembo 'copy' pads which are rife on eBay. They may marginally pass the MOT, but will be utterly useless in emergency situations.

what the F? Interested to see more info on that one if there's no mechanical issue there that driver doesn't belong on the road, or even in gen pop.

'Update from uploader: she got frightened by a loss of power (she left the car in 6th gear and in a variable speed zone the engine laboured) He is fine but they are a state it's his fault at the moment, he is fighting it though'
the problem is they always say leave enough time to stop. I think the light issue made it hard to see the brakes, but very unfortunate.

At the end of the day, the Morgan pulled out in the path of an oncoming vehicle at speed. Why, we don't know and never will. With about three seconds between the Morgan pulling and out the pug hitting it, don't think Chinese pads enter into the equation. Morgan driver got it wrong.
