As usual, no torrent talk please.
fifth gear sometimes botches their crash tests a bit. its like they only have the budget for one go so they set it up to make sure its unsurvivable.
50 miles per hour into concrete?
talk about setting it up for total failure, might as well have gone 100mph.
how survivable is that test for any car? even with seatbelts decelerating from 50 is something harsh.
more realistic would be impacting another vehicle. limos weight would give it an advantage against most vehicles. plus most accidents involve some braking before impact.
Well, the speed limit in Britain is 70 on the motorway. The Limo's in a hurry, the driver might be going 80, 90 or even 100 mph. Sure, you brake, but 50 seems like an appropriate speed.fifth gear sometimes botches their crash tests a bit. its like they only have the budget for one go so they set it up to make sure its unsurvivable.

Also, is it just me, or is this johnny guy a wannabe Jeremy Clarkson?
It's just you.
