An expansion on the "4x4 are safer" theory....

[SB118]

People often buy huge trucklike 4x4 in order to make themselves feel safer in the event of a collision with smaller vehicles.

Fair enough, but what if you scale things up...

that truck is the size of a small block of flats!

Jesus more destruction than a tank and a lot quicker too.

If only they did this to cars parked on double yellows.

I went to a crash today where a Honda Jazz had been hit by a fully laden cement truck.

Needless to say the jazz wasnt in particularly good shape

Yeah, the truck driver didnt seem too pleased!

Did the truck deflect the Jazz or go over it? :/

 

[Psymonkee]

Nice!

Best video I've seen in a while

(Armour plating and a few guns and you have a mobile battle station )

That would probably be a 300 Tonner

I drive one of these but its a 70 tonner.

Still doesnt feel safe with no seatbelt, small cab and a big drop next to you
