Today while commuting to office i had a small chain accident kinda stuff...
Story goes like this...
I crossed the Inter-continental Signal and moved toward nehru place, had 2-3 cars moving in front of me... after crossing the signal, all cars and buses started moving but due to traffic chaos all cars and buses moving bumper-to-bumper in the lane at around 20-30 Km/h speed max. Suddenly front car in the lane breaked hard which ultimately forced each one of us in the lane to break hard as well. Though all couldn't break hard and hitted the car's in front. I went out safe from front due to appropriate breaking and stoppage. However, A Swift couldn't break properly, though he tried to save a lot even tired to steer left at-most but unluckily hitted my rear bumper from left side. Continuing the chain accident a DTC Bus (traveling at mere 10 km/h) minor hitted the back of the Swift.
Damage...
My Car, Optra - Deeply Scratched Rear Bumper with swift Paint peeled all over the Left side of the bumper.
Swift - Right side of Front Bumper completely damaged, Headlight reflector broken into pieces inside the the assembly only, Front-right fender damaged from front, A bit bend Bonnet. Minor scratches at rear, as the bus wasn't in speed. Minor scratches at the rear bumper and boot door.
DTC Bus - Negligible damages, as many scratches were there already.
Seeing at damage caused to Swift with this minor accident, i was shocked and couldn't imagine the damages of an accident caused to swift running at 80km/h
Still not able to even think how a peted swift will handle the accident @ 150Km/h+
Is the build quality of Swift is so much poor or optra's build so much good ??
