Electric Shock
« on: May 17, 2007, 09:30:14 »
Top Gear magazine recently took a new electric car (which is exempt from N-CAP safety ratings) and crashed it at 40mph ... oh boy it didn't look good.

:shock:  :shock:  :shock:

(haven't got sound at work so only been able to watch it - which was bad enough :!:  :!:  :!: )

That is horrific - what chance would you have surviving a crash in that ?  :shock:
So obviously human life is less important to the green police
What was the point in spending years and billions of pounds making cars safer if we are supposed to drive about in these death traps ? - I think not, I'll be sticking to my Landies !   :wink:
The nice part of living in a small town is that when I don't know what I am doing, someone else does
