That is an area where crumple zones do not play any part. Impact was directly passed on to things like windshield. Windshield has localized damage near the pillar. | |

| ![]() http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian...ml#post2415274 Just an update. The accident occurred at around 0130hrs on sunday morning. The boy who passed away(owner) was apparently the passenger. The guy driving doesn't remember what happened! Like Duh!!! I strongly believe the seat belt would have saved him! Also found out that he stays barely a mile away from my place.

I am confused - you are saying that the boy wasn't driving, but the link you have quoted says he was the driver ![]() Have you quoted the report of one accident while writing about another (asking because as you said, there are two accidents here) | |

| ![]() As far as i know, the boy wasn't driving. Its a coverup. The article even says the car was very badly damaged whereas the pics tell a different story! |

| ![]() Got this from a friend. Range Rover gets teased by Alto. But how is this even possible? Look at the number plates. ![]() |

![]() I have no idea whats going on in those posts! I guess LHD cars can be imported [temporarily] only for the consulate guys or is it NOT possible at all? Whatever it is, I am sure that is going to be on FAT bill for the RR guy! Or should I say the Alto guy will have to sell / lease the car to pay the damages. ![]() Last edited by swiftnfurious : 4th July 2011 at 02:19. | |

There must be some sort of permit that allows. Experts can confirm. | |

| ![]() Mandatory speed limiters are really called for on the heavy vehicles in our country. Even if it's made mandatory now it would be a couple of years (whilst the older vehicles get phased off the roads) before this comes in play on more than 90% of the vehicles. The other things that's sorely missing on most heavy vehicles is the low barriers at the front and back, even if there are barriers installed it's mostly some shoddy work which would do more harm then good. Almost all our cars nowadays are tested for frontal impact, without a good low barrier, whether you are in a merc saloon or a BMW saloon, you gotta be very lucky not to have major injuries to the persons in the front seats cos the car just slides under the truck, and the impact is usually on the top of the bonnets and the A-pillar, when you hit the front axle of the truck it gets transferred to the front of the car. When will our authorities open their eyes ? |
