| ![]() The tyres were Bridgestone S248 165/80/R13 with adequate tread depth, more than a decade back on a Palio. Golden rule to be followed, if its raining and the roads are wet, speed should never exceed 60 to 65 kmph (lower the better to avoid skidding/ acquaplaning) Last edited by for_cars1 : 9th September 2017 at 19:58. |

My bad. I very well remember the contrast between plane crashes and car accidents resulting from driver/pilot error. May be the % is not 90, but the bottom line was that in a car the driver has more control and has to take more responsibility in the event of an accident as compared to a pilot. TTBOMK. |

| ![]() Tata Tiago built quality saves its passengers – Truck driver who rear-ended Tiago, is in hospital https://www.rushlane.com/tata-tiago-...-12250589.html Just found this on Rushlane. |

The Tiago may be be built well, but its passengers should thank the truck driver for braking hard and minimizing the impact and unfortunately getting injured in the process. In a collision between a significantly heavy truck and a small(light) car and that too to the rear of the car, the transfer of momentum from the car to the truck would be negligible(to the truck). The car would have just been flung away by the huge momentum of the truck had the truck driver not braked hard. | |

Again, the article that praises the Tiago build quality so much, gives no details about the injury or the causes of it to the truck driver. | |

The news simply seems to be a paid article. Just check how many times the words "Tiago" and "Tata" have been used in that news article. "Tiago's driver", "Tiago lost control", "Tiago's front damaged badly", "Tiago Passengers escaped unharmed"..etc. They have not missed a single opportunity to insert the word Tiago wherever possible. Except the first instance, the generic term "car" would have been sufficient in all other places. That is how professional & quality reports should look like. And to top it all, a brief summary of Tiago, its monthly sales figures, engine options and prices in the last paragraph of an accident news report! ![]() Wow, way to go Rushlane! | |

It the reporter was a Tata fan, he might fill his garage with Tata vehicles. By the way, what was the other vehicle hit by the Tiago? Was that too as sturdy as the Tiago that the Tiago front was more damaged than its rear. | |

| ![]() Read this news about 4 people killed and 3 more critically injured in an accident in Mumbai. The driver lost control of the vehicle and rammed into a bus according to one of the survivors. All of them except the person driving the car were celebrating the birthday of their colleague (who has also died unfortunately) and were on their way to office. RIP! Edit : The car was a honda city. How can 7 people (all adults) manage to get in a honda city? Last edited by TorqueyTechie : 13th September 2017 at 13:09. |

I imagine they accommodated 2 in the front passenger seat with either or both of them sitting cross legged. Another 4 could have been accommodated in the rear seat with the middle guy extending his legs to the provide a handrest of the driver. ![]() | |
