facelift crash test
« on: February 27, 2008, 07:06:53 pm »
facelift have kitted out all our vans over the years & this is the second time our vans have been involved in an accident, occuppants safe on both occasions , one at 70mph and this one at 40mph, both times tanks have stayed in place, if fitted by someone else they probably still would have stayed in place but ill never know. what i do know is i am glad they were fitted by proffessionals and not myself and a mate etc. i know some of you fit them yourselfs and im not saying thats a bad idea but please be careful and make sure it is right.

I have more respect for other road users than to travel at excessive speed with a tank full of water in the back!!! >:(

What were the circumstances of the crash - rear ended? bump? bridge pillar?

If you do a ton with 800ltrs in the back, then you deserve to be locked up as you are a disaster waiting to happen!  >:(

  Luke it was on the road.

  Groundhog, do you ever break the speed limit? Or are you one of these drivers who has never had an accident but seen hundreds?

  Speed doesn't kill, it is usually the sudden stop that does the damage.
