I love those videos, so naff

[ZeeTacoe]

fk me. who knew a swift half turn of lock will make a car turn through 90 degrees and fly 3 feet off the ground.

Total scaremongering bks.

[iggletiggle]

As much as it is scaremongering... it made me feel a little odd..!!

fking video's though, most of those are completely unrealistic. Apart from the lorry in the tunnel which failed to notice the stationary traffic (believe that was in Russia)

[Garlick]

The lorry in the tunnel was sobering.

The only one that really got to me, and I know it's one of the acted ones on that video, was the 2 lovers standing by the wall when the crashing car hits them. Seeing her pinned between the wall and her boyfriends now crushed and lifeless body really sent the jitters down my spine!!

[Maldini35]

Certainly scared me.

I know its a bit ghey but what is the music ?

Does the trick,quite sobering to say the least,anything to do with injured kids gets to me,bit soft like that.

Ok, what's the safest vehicle on the road for the vehicle occupants? Not meaning that Auto Express thing that said Defenders had the lowest incidence of injury, I'm talking out and out protection. To give an example, my old E38 735i was hit by a car doing 30+ and the sides weren't even more than 2 inches pushed in, and I saw a E38 740 which had a front smash sufficient to remove/crush the entire bonnet section and the driver/passenger cabin had no intrusion whatsoever.

That's why I have a 740 now as I know it's pretty good like that, but what's the daddy of them all in terms of hardness and crash protection?

Shamefully I know the artist, Evanescence. A quick google reveals its My Immortal. You're right, very ghey.

One of those crashes is real but in reality the guy survived.

ETA: Ah seems a few are real crash footage.

That motorway one must have been a st day, crash,fall out of car,get run over...... Bummer.

[Ian974]

I like how the car jumping the lights at the level crossing managed to turn into a completely different car before getting hit.
But really, whether set up or real, some of those are just so blatently stupid that there is almost loses the message. Trying to pass a truck round a blind corner, jumping over a hill through a hedge, driving straight past give way signs into the path of an oncoming bus...

I tend to watch those videos with the sound off and the Benny Hill theme tune playing. Gives it a whole different slant.

Does anyone else think it's not really cricket editing together accidents where it looks like people really did loose their lives and fiction?

How is it unsafe driving when the guy with the take-away walks into the road without looking and gets hit by the blue car ? :s

i thought the same about that clip

[buffly]

I`m going for a spin.... Bye!

Is it me? Or if you were in the Red Car Overtaking and the Dog Ran out you'd just carry on. I wouldn't like to kill any Animal, but I'd rather not die myself.
