wawang expe palagi starring sa aksidente

[pissword]

baka talagang maangas lang ang IBANG may ari ng expe.. kaya laging star yang sasakyan na yan

[theveed]

IMO false sense of security dahil sa laki ng oto... sa snowy parts ng US mga 4x4 na malalaki usually makikita mo sa aksidente, feeling nila kasi porke malaki at 4x4 kakapit, not realizing that the weight and size of the car makes traction harder to come by.

Maybe this is really an unfortunate accident.

What is interesting in this news article is that the seat belts caused injuries to the passengers at the back seat. Sa U.S., the vehicle owner could sue the car manufacturer if its a verified safety issue.

Saka hindi rin sinabi sa balita na ito whether the driver and his front seat passenger were both wearing their seat belts at that time. Their injuries look like their faces hitting the windshield.

Hindi rin pala sinabi kung nag-deploy yung airbag?

kung hindi expe dala niya baka patay na sila. still its safer sa bigger cars (except gen 1 f150) kaysa sa sedan or any van. I'd pay extra for my family's safety. :car:

um...outer lane daw. not to be too insensitive, pero did they use the real outer lane, or the shoulder? di kaya they just hit a rock which blew the tire if they were in the shoulder?

still, badtrip yan.

thrown?? -- kahit naka-seatbelt?

Bigger doesn't mean safer. Far from it.

""Are the best performers the biggest and heaviest vehicles on the road? Not at all. Among the safest cars are the midsize imports, like the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord. Or consider the extraordinary performance of some subcompacts, like the Volkswagen Jetta. Drivers of the tiny Jetta die at a rate of just forty-seven per million, which is in the same range as drivers of the five-thousand-pound Chevrolet Suburban and almost half that of popular S.U.V. models like the Ford Explorer or the GMC Jimmy. In a head-on crash, an Explorer or a Suburban would crush a Jetta or a Camry. But, clearly, the drivers of Camrys and Jettas are finding a way to avoid head-on crashes with Explorers and Suburbans. The benefits of being nimble--of being in an automobile that's capable of staying out of trouble--are in many cases greater than the benefits of being big.""

kaya sumasabay sa pagbagsak ng presyong expe eh..

Bigger is USUALLY safer unless you hit something bigger or something immovable (e.g. lamp post). However, a lot of real world crashes happen against other vehicles on the road.

If a '5-star' Mini were to go head to head with a 'poor' Expedition or F-150, the Mini will still get creamed.

in a situation like that, don't slam on the brakes. it will most likely make things worse. although, easier said than done nga talaga, as braking will be the first instinct.

the correct coutnermeasure is to try to control the skid with steering input and smooth throttle input, then gradually slow to a stop when directional control is regained.

that also depends kung anong age nung bata.

kc kung masyadong maliit siya, dapat naka child seats siya.

an unfair comparison.

compare cars with cars & trucks with trucks.

you are comparing a practically new mini vs the previous gen f150.
