From the pics of smashes on this site, I don't think the sides holds up very well,

Fronts, backs & flip overs seem ok, but not the sides.

I may be wrong...

No car is very srong from the side..

There is no way to make 4 to 6 inches of vehicle as strong as 3 to 5 feet of car.

Unless you buy a 4x4 - at least then you are so high up that side ons are not at head or torso level (unless hit by another 4 x 4).

Standard ractice with even a hint of back pain.

How familiar that road is.

That's where I ckilled my last Cerb. However I did it with no one else invoved. Has a vey bad history, dodgy roundabouts with diesel spills and 3 lanes used by all traffic in both directions. Very unsafe.

Hope the people concerned are ok.

Presumably the Fire crew cut that off to get to the driver incase he had spinal injurys!
