Aye, but theres a cheap badgeless grill there for anyone lookin for a bargain.
If someone died in that crash, im going to hell.

Dunno bout you guys but i feel safe in my car and now and then take it above 100mph (and the rest) but these are the results of 100mph crashes into trees, telegraph poles etc
eye opening for sure as ive never seen cars split into 2.................. :shocked:

Are those pictures for real? I surely hope not.
They aren't of some random car cut up in a breakers yard and placed by a tree for show effect?
Edit: mistype.
-
Yeah that website has some mad crashes on it!
Some nice cars are smashed up too :( Such a shame :cry:
-
How the hell did that Escort end up wrapped around the tree about 50 times? :huh:
No one could survive that, unless they jumped first! OMG :sick:
-
that escort picture is not real surely???
if a car hit a thin tree like that the tree would be damged in some way... like leaning maybe some of the roots pulled out of the ground due to impact, also the ground below is clear, no rubble, bits of car or anymarks in the grass due to skidding.. i think its odd!!! :undecided:
-
Are those pictures for real? I surely hope so.
I hope they are not real, If they are real i cant see anyone having survived any of them. Scary stuff.
-
the escort has come off the road at 100mph straight into the tree, the tree is set down a bank a bit hence no skid marks, wanna see the front of the car?? its quite some way across the field, the driver is among the crowd as he walked away from the accident when he was thrown clear due to not having his seatbelt on!!!!!! :shocked:
It dont matter on the size of the tree, lamposts are hollow and theres a pic on there of a range rover thats hit one and all 3 occupants were killed instantly.

Agh I hate mistyping ... I meant to type I surely hope NOT!

I cant believe you guys think these pics are fake!!!!!  Im not saying nobody got killed!
I really hope you dont think speccing an airbag when you brought the car was gonna save your life!
I only been driving lorrys for 3 years and ive already seen stuff thats made me have to pull over until i stopped shaking, these are as real as that insurance qoute the sneaky buggers never forget to post each year :laugh:
oooo i found the front of the escort and you would think you were pretty safe in a new bora wouldnt you?? not with a croatian lorry driver behind you.......

Amazing and addictive website trying to make people aware, im pretty sure ive slowed down a fair bit past the country park now
-
That really is frightening stuff. Im not too partial of seriously breaking the speed limit anyway, but accelaration is my thing. Perhaps i'll leave off my lead boots when driving from now on! :lipsrsealed:
-
Some of these pictures are a set up. They were done as part of a safety campaign and then put in various positions. I.E. the A3 and the Escort are not real.
Just think about it, a 2 ton chunk of metal hitting a tree like that full force, unless it has roots that are about 40ft deep it wouldn't still be standing, certainly not without any other damage to it.
Some of the crashes are real but those two for example are not.
-
I could see what you mean about the escort mate because thinking about it there is no random car parts scattered, but the A3 in the other pictures it looks like someone went to some serious effort to take all that bark off of all the other trees! :laugh:
sorry i wont bug you with anymore pics! i just find them amazing :nerd:
-
mk4 anyone.....
shocking stuff, real or not it makes you think

The A3 was real. The set up was that they took the parts back and laid them out again for a photshoot iirc.
I'm sure the Escort one is real as I've seen that one before. You are welcome to prove me wrong.
The tree wont suffer that much damage as it just absorbs the energy from the car at one of its strongest point. Trees only go down when they are pushed over from the top - like the high winds in the canopy - then they fall over. But a Ford smashing into it is nothing.
