cars are, like, so much safer than bikes.

this is the crash test of an upcoming car made in china, the Jiangling (JMC) Landwind

apparently it was so bad, the technicians said the safety was 30-50 years behind current vehicles.

See how that front wheel went right into the footwell. Be legless and sober.
They'll be on sale here soon if Helen gets her FTA with China.

50 years behind?? Get real! Do a crash test on a 1955 Landrover,the standard 4x4 of the era,this Chinese vehicle is lightyears ahead.On the prelaunch testing of the Mercedes A class they rolled them over on easy swerves,they had to halt the launch as Mercedes didn't know you could do that....duh.I drove a A160 last week,what a piece of shit.

It was slightly more than 'easy swerves'. The test conducted by the Swedish journalists was the Elk test. This involved a sudden change of direction, as though an Elk had just wandered out from the edge of the forest into the path of an oncoming vehicle. It involves a harsh, sudden change of direction. It is, apparently, a standard test carried out by Swedish journos.

Yes there is. There is a little known loophole, but it costs a fair bit.

Bugger on that bloody car. You would die at 20kms
