    That was a freakin trailer truck that hit the nissan truck. Kahit anong pick-up yun malamang same scenario din.

    When it's you versus a big truck, no matter what you're riding, you're dead.




    Even worse, the pick-up skidded sideways into the semi. All vehicles have less side-impact protection and side crush space than frontal crush space. While side impact protection can take probably a 60 km/h hit and make it survivable, the pickup truck was still moving forward while going sideways, making the closing speed probably somewhere between 120-160 km/h.

    Crash safety testing for side-impact isn't even half that. Both the US NHTSA and EuroNCAP test at around 50 km/h only.

    Even in the safest of vehicles (say, a Volvo or a Mercedes), a side-impact like that is fatal. The only difference is whether you're having an open or a closed casket funeral.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    normal accidents pag winter ang mag-slide, kahit naka-winter tires pa, lalong-lao kung kakabagsak ng snow at wala pa asin ang kalsada. But I think masyado mabilis ang pickup at nasa gilid masyado.

    this month alone, siguro mga 5 times na namin na-experience mag-slide.nakakatakot pag may tumatabi samin na trailer at mas malaking sasakyan kaysa samin. kaya malikot mga mata namin lalo na mabilis dumilim pag-uwi galing work.

    But comparing here and in Metro Manila, mas nakakatakot ang mga Bus sa EDSA kay mga trailers dito.

    Trailers there rarely change lanes unlike buses here who have drivers that have personal MC as probable transporation. Kala mo nasa racetrack lagi.
