That’ll T-cut out

I agree with OP though – the crash resilience and protection of modern cars is amazing.

Only matched by the stupidity of some of the drivers on the roads.

A question – I know there’s fewer injuries and deaths of car drivers and passengers these days (per mile driven), but how many accidents per mile driven…? Are we crashing more or less?

The car in the OP is a BMW F30 3 Series Saloon.  You can tell be the rear window line and the swage line which runs through the stone wall .

The crash test video below is one of the main factors in me getting rid of my first car!

Compared to the modern equivalent…

Rule number 2: There’s always a tree

Rule number 1: Trees always win. (Even pretty small ones)

That’s a Stinger. Truly fast car, usually driven with skill by people who think and generally know better.

And Queensland Police in stock form. Why Queensland Police chose the Kia Stinger – Drive

Are we crashing more or less?

Using an extremely unscientific methodology its definitely more.

Over the last month or two an impressive amount of street furniture near me has been rearranged by various vehicles. Several where they seem to have missed a roundabout is, well, round  but there have been a couple which are baffling crashes on straight roads.

If it carries on like this I am going to be scared to ride from my front door.

Following on from Bails Ncap video – it looks like I’m okay in a head on collision….but dead from a side impact😕

My similar era V70 and Cayenne fare a lot better but are more substantial than a Gauloises packet on wheels.
