Princess Diana died in a Merc going >120km/h. You may die in a Chery going at 60km/h. That's the difference.

Sometimes things are beyond your control. You can be happily driving within the speed limit, but sometimes its other road user that caused the damage. My cousin's husband kena-ed a few years back. He's known to be a safe driver, but he got T-bone at a junction by some crazy cap. Good thing that he's still alive after a major surgury on his leg.

 

For me, safety is one of the top priority in choosing a car. Choosing safety over other stuff does not make me a crazy reckless driver by the way.... [furious]

 

I don't think EU impose safety rating so that reckless driver can walk out of their car in a crash. It measures safety of a vehicle in a colision in normal road conditions.

 

There are 3 standard crash test: frontal @ 40mph(62km/h) into off-set barrier, side impact @ 30mph (50km/h) and side pole impact @ 20mph (30km/h). These are all normal road speeds, not racing speeds. If a car does not perform well in these tests, it's worrying!

T-bone? like steak?

 

By right, any car approved to be sold here should be safe enough for Singapore roads, even cyclists without gear.

 

However, there are a bunch of wreckless driver and some without licence on the road, that makes driving dangerous here. Not forgetting those who like to perform stunts and drink at the same time.

 

Don't presume I drive a Chery or whatever Chinamade. Besides all the positive view about their ride in future, I agree it can not make it presently. Please don't look down on ppl driving those cars btw, it is not as if they don't want a BM or MB, they probably needed a ride and can only afford a Chinamade, likewise for OPC. They needed a ride but could not afford a normal price COE.

Why are you so defensive?

 

I am not looking down on anybody. I have driven cars without good safety equipment. After a serious crash myself, I realise the importance of safety equipment which could have help me prevent the accident or protect me during the accident. I am just highlighting the importance of safety of the car.

 

Any car approved should be safe enough... sure, of course... but it can be SAFER! (Remember that not too long back, seat belts were not mandatory.) It may make a difference when it is need.

 

When they first introduced seatbeats, everyone thought that it was unneccessary and was against it. Even now there are people still refuses to wear backseat seatbelts. For me, even I know I drive safely, I want my backseat passengers to wear the seatbelts.

 

As for T-bone...

 

T-bone

 

type of steak, 1916, so called from the T-shaped bone that runs through it. The verb meaning "to strike (another car, bus, etc.) from the side" is attested from 1980s.

That car shouldn't even be allowed for sale on the roads. [sweatdrop]

 

[shocked] Look at how the A pillar collapses and roof crumple.

 

Interesting point, LTA & ROV focussing on mods but allow such unsafe cars on the roads. Interesting logic [laugh][laugh][laugh]

I think if you go through youtube looking for chinese car crash tests. I think there's only one that has passed. it's called the Brilliance, something like that. There's a video on it turning turtle but it was till fine.

 

Other china cars that you can see is one SUV Hilux looking pick up. The crash test was just scary the front wheel went right into the passenger compartment considering it is one of those big off road tyres.

 

Not passing a crash test at 60km/h is quite worrying. Of course if you speed about 120km/h you should consider that whatever you hit is most probably a goner. 60km/h is a normal travelling speed but it could cost you your life, if you are in one of these tin can types

 

EDIT: I cannot give URLs cos I can't access youtube for some reason [rifle]

Although it is his money. but he kenah crash also everybody's money in insurance mah.

 

Some of them just pay for the "look like a car", as long got, 4 wheels, doors, shell and engine lah. They dont bother with other things which they cannot see. That's very sad.
