When a vehicle tailgates another, the one that actually rams in usually takes the brunt of the damages regardless of the type of vehicle. I've reached this conclusing after watching various accidents involving one vehicle tailgating another...and from my personal experience in Malaysia where my 'huge' (ok by their standards) 3 litre Proton Perdana rammed into the backside of a puny little Kancil (very very old Daihatsu Sirion) driven by chinese girl who couldnt make up her mind (and didnt have her 'L' board on). The Perdana looked like it had hit a wall while the Kancil got away with a dented bumper.

Its probably got something to do with the crumple zones built into the front of a vehicle for occupant protection.

@ mclaren:
"Actually the santro car was being parked on the wrong side of the road" - does this mean you were driving/turning into on the wrong side too?
