BHPian ![]() | ![]() Just saw this accident. No Fatalities. Nothing looked too serious Apparently a north bound Wagon R was rammed into by an east bound truck. Sorry for the Bad Pics Mobile Phone Camera not too good for low light conditions |

I seriously think of doing something like this--> ![]() Do you have any concrete proof that Maruti did something like that? Also, are you aware when and how airbags deploy in case of a collision ? On top of it, are you aware that in many cases airbags DO NOT deploy in case the driver is not wearing a seat belt?? There have been quite a few such cases on this thread itself where airbags haven't deployed due to the driver not using the seat belt. Finally, as someone pointed out its hard to believe that the topple happened at a speed of 50kmph (unless there was something very wrong with the banking of the road or mechanicals of the car). I have driven a ritz, the Lxi version which is under-tired and yet it never felt nervous at such low speeds and its much better composed than WagonRs and i10s. I guess, blaming a manufacturer without any valid data is not the wisest thing to do. Regards. Last edited by YC.BALENO.CHD : 2nd July 2010 at 08:00. | |

On of the front passengers?? How many passengers were sitting at front? Give me a valid proof or data that it is an engineering fault with all the Ritz ZXIs and I'll start a separate thread regarding this issue. But without any sort of data or proof I won't blame a manufacturer. I mean, maybe it indeed is a problem. But without concrete proof, blaming country's biggest manufacturer o playing with customer's life is a dirty allegation. Regards. | |

I ask you again, do you know exactly how an airbag works? Also, was the driver wearing the seat belt? Further I would like to know what qualifies you to pass a verdict about the 'quality' ? Are you a professional in this field? No hard feelings. But this is a dirty allegation. Regards. | ||

| ![]() Head on Collision between Santro and Mercedes C Class. Don't have the details how it happened. Santo has surely taken the beating. |

I see a mangled blue 800 in the background. Was it involved as well?? And it will take the S-class owner more than 'new Santro money' to fix his car up. ![]() Last edited by YC.BALENO.CHD : 4th July 2010 at 17:00. | |

| ![]() Is it Mercedes S Class? Then I think, it will cost a Bomb to fix since there are no details about internal damage. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The Merc repairs would buy a brand new Santro. On the positive side, at least the Santro driver can brag about his meet with the big German. On a lighter note I guess the Santro driver was an Argentenian soccer fan! |

| ![]() ^^ That is gross. The S owner is really going to pay a lot on repair bills. Btw, did anyone notice the rims on the S?(which is not the standard one available on the S in India) and also the panoramic roof. That means, its a proper CBU import(those options aren't available off-the-shelf in India). Something tells me it is a big petrol engined german(possibly a S350 or even a 500).
