Something to think about BDA. Out speed limit is about 35Kph, so what happens at then? I know one thing, those small fronts(bonnets) of cars that tend to slant toward the ground/road has no protection whatsoever if you are speeding. The vehicles with the longer straight bonnet are safer.

Mandate adding something that would jack up the price of already overly expensive cars!? And why govern the limit as 50 k when the speed limit is 35 k? Sensible suggestions please..

Perhaps some community service hours can be attached to those convi cted of traffic offences, along with the fines and demerit points. The bus shelters can certainly use a good scrubbing, painting and regular sweeping. These folks could also enter the class-room and share with students the rea sons for traffic signs, and various driving styles that can result in serio us harm or death. Some folk need to realise the convenience enjoyed by oper ating their own private vehicle versus the use of public transport..and not have to appear in Court to understand the benefits.

This video shows an analysis of two cars driving at 35mph and appears to support what Dr.Greg House said above about the air bags and why they might not have deployed. Hope they are OK.

There are a few other small cars that don’t come with airbags. Praying for the drivers.

Vehicles are designed to crumble and the more cheaply they are built (these cars look fairly inexpensive, by comparison) the easier they wrinkle. Also, don’t underestimate the power of centrifugal force if one of these was making the bend.

Maybe one driver is at fault? These little cars can’t handle speed on our roads. Hope both drivers have a speedy recovery.

This way those who are “wanna be’s” don’t speed and are compelled to do no-more than 50 km.

Gotta love physics but we all hate the results sometimes, the hands at the hospital will have those affected patched up in no time!

Maybe there was a cat or dog racing across the road.
