Accident by Trincity 29/1/2012 *Pic*

I put baffles in my sump

Notice how badly the B14 is damaged. It bend like cardboard. And they say they make cars nowadays soft to absorb the impact and save the driver or passenger?

Only way to get him out of there was with the Jaws of Life. Surprisingly the Hilux Engine was still running. Driver refused to turn it off cause he wanted AC. Mind you all the coolant leak out and diesel was also leaking.

Observe the driver side has a big hole in the window. they used a big stone to break the glass to get inside the van in order to turn it off. One guy wanted to put a cut ass on he but the police said to leave him alone.

no car can be engineered to protect you from every possible impact
and they don't make cars 'soft'
they engineer weak points and crumple zones to decelerate the vehicle and absorb some of the force of impact.....I still say you have better odds in one your 'soft' cars than those supposedly strong ole iron cars

WUT?????

It doesn't matter, isn't a fully loaded corolla 209 compared to the base model at 175? If you're going to buy a car, then buy a good car, you're going to be driving it on the nations roads and we're all aware of how horrid the driving is here.

I don't know about you but I can't really put a price on extra safety features.

sorry dey fella, din realize 34k was small money for all ah we...........but why stop at a corolla? You don't value your life enough to buy an Audi or BMW?

I was using Toyota since that's probably the most popular brand when it comes to vehicles here, and when you're buying a new vehicle, if you're making 30k an issue then you shouldn't be buying a vehicle, you should be stocking up on some bus tickets.

[MG Man]

so u saying if all I can afford payments on is a 175k base model car, then I should just not bother and use public transport?

in your world maybe, but what about the person that can only afford the base model?
so if they can't afford the "safest" corolla they should stick to travelling?

somehow even in your own world i can't see the logic

Do you know what a budget is?

[cinco]

if u cant afford to pay 2 mil to buy a fully loaded s class then you should just walk

[MG Man]

*wonders what stephon drives, and whether he /she paid for it*

@MG Man, why not just save until you can afford a safer vehicle, TTs highways are like a free for all for missiles to projectile temselves onto you, I don't see why anyone would want to take that chance

@tr1ad you and your opinion is a non factor

@sky it would suck to have a budget that limits you to two airbags, knowing fully well the mess that we have on the highways.

@cinco same as tr1ad

[Stephon.]

It's not even about branding, it's about safety. I don't get why you people are so ignorant

Just forget it.

Don't ponder on it too long, gonna happen soon anyway.

@cinco same as tr1ad

In the same light as airbags, do you also spend as much as possible on tyres?

Parents.

[tr1ad]

your opinion doesn't matter either (for an online forum)

however your mindset behind what you consider "valued contribution" is questionable

in the name of safety do you drive a 5 star rated vehicle also?
34k is the price of ANOTHER used car for me

[Crackpot]

Another idiot Hilux driver again

Hilux drivers are some of the most discourteous on the road so I am not surprised.

I think Toyota need to give prospective buyers a psychometric test before they give them these vehicles yes

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

I think some ah allyuh playin devil's advocate here. Stephon might be a spoil rich kid (hard luck dey) but I think he referring to people who can very well afford the corolla at 209 but just go with the cheapest model just for cheapness sake as opposed to just not being able to afford the safer model.

If you and your fam get t-boned and the chances of fatalities could be reduced with a safer vehicle u really gonna say nah?

AHHA Probably.

Pickup drivers do some crazy stuff..while driving a pickup. Yesterday I'm coming down the highway past chase village at around 120 ; hilux decides to ride my bumper for a few seconds and then gun off.

I think he was trying to mount my car...

[Redman]

Well a friend was in an accident yesterday in a hilux,in trincity

He was comin from home going to exercise,had the green and was hit by a DUI breaking the opposing red light.

The driver of the hilux is permanently paralyzed neck down and was a champion human being.

I'm wondering if it's the same accident.

I will try and find out.


Later

...Yesterday I'm coming down the highway past chase village at around 120...

And your driving at 120km/h on a road with a posted speed limit of 80km/h is not crazy either?

Oh wait! I just noticed your username. Please accept my apologies.

[Hirotoshi]

stephon no overpriced corolla,with a million air-bags will save your ass,if you are hit on the drivers side by an audi,bmw,volvo,pathfinder,q5,prado etc . if you are driving and notice some idiots on the road,just back-peddle,keep your eyes open and try your best to reach home safe.by the way how much air-bags did dodi al-fiyad & princess diana,s 500 mercedes have ? i drive a 15 year civic hatch,wish i could afford a second hand fd sedan

[Sky]

^^^ Got me one of those babies and I honestly feel more safe in the EJ1. Maybe it's the FD's lack of an awesome suspension like the coupe.
