    Hello everyone!

    I was wondering if anyone on the forums had interest in real-life crash testing. I did a quick search of the forums and couldn't find any pre-existing threads on the topic, but I'm sure there's plenty of people out there.

    Also shout-out to t-dev for Rigs of Rods and BeamNG, as well as Gabester for the great vehicles.

    A testing company TÜV performed that test at (I believe) 50 Km/h (31 Mph), with a 50% overlap at a 15 Degree angle. That test was way ahead of its time, which around the same time period, EuroNCAP started prototyping their Moderate Overlap they've been doing since the 90's.

    Thank you!

    If anyone has been keeping up with "the trends," does anyone have an opinion on the Oblique Overlap testing protocol NHTSA is planning for MY2020?

    anyway it looks like the EG series civics of early to mid-90s are not that much safe when it comes to crash tests and highway safety

    tests, But I STILL LOVE THEM :p Since they have got VTEC!

    here's another car I really like
