br3ndan Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Yeah thats what i thought. But ker34 mentioned that the parents were told otherwise... Bit hard to believe a car could bounce enough @ that speed to deploy airbags?

bubba Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) I don't think it was a case of "bouncing", but more one of suspension bottoming out hard enough to deploy the airbags.. There's a bump on South Western Hwy where Mudijong Rd hits it, if you're heading North and take the right hand lane past the turn off. I've hit that an 90kph in my 'line, something bottomed out, something went THUD. Nothing was broken and my non-existant airbags didn't deploy but fk, I have never taken that lane again Edited November 17, 2008 by bubba Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/244014-an-amicable-discussion-on-p-platers-and-the-law/page/11/#findComment-4265427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCR34M Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The only ways they can stop people crashing is if they were to limit the speed of all cars to like human walking speed of 4km/h. Dude, you know the old vietnamese ladies are still going to crash... they cant see over the wheel man...lol Oh and volvo drivers...................................................cuz they can!! and thanks Tom for my new sig...

s2k12 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 If you have a fast car your gona speed for the thrill and fun of it.. If you have a piece of shit car your not going to because its gona probably make the car shitter then it already is.. or its just no fun coz its a shitbox lol.. I disagree. I'm way more likely to thrash something I don't care about. Any car can be fun to drive when you're pushing the limits, but only a nice car can still be fun when you're not.

Mayuri Krab Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Dude, you know the old vietnamese ladies are still going to crash... they cant see over the wheel man...lol Oh and volvo drivers...................................................cuz they can!! Well at least the crash wouldn't result in serious accidents... can they? It'll be like 2 cars crash into each at @ 4km/h & the car behind would be like, oh no! I'm slowly driving into the crash @ 4km/h & I don't have time to react & step on the brakes... I disagree.I'm way more likely to thrash something I don't care about. Any car can be fun to drive when you're pushing the limits, but only a nice car can still be fun when you're not. +1 to that, I reckon I'm alot more careless when I'm driving my mum's car.

NA_Goodness Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 ^^ Agreed. Driving my mum's Protege is boring because of the lack of power. Not that I'm an idiot in her car, but I will try to push it that little bit harder to get up to speed.
