Why must we exhibit ethnic bigotry on every issue. If BH is planning to bomb Lagos, I think it's a serious national issue...unless we are saying only Yoruba people reside in Lagos. |
Car Talk › Re: Benz Vs Honda: Head On Collision! by ophilly: 9:29pm On Mar 27, 2013 |
plaetton: I dont know why everyone is obsessed with amount of physical damage on the Honda. When it comes to vehicle safety, physical damage is not directly proportional to passenger injuries or fatality.
Infact, looking at the pictures, and assuming that both collided with the same momentum, the honda car, in this instance would have been safer for the driver and passengers.
How? Physics. Modern cars are built with numerous crumple zones in the fronts and rears. The crumple zones are designed to crumple and absorb the force of an impact, thereby dissipating and spreading the residual force throughout the vehicle chasis. By absorbing much of the force and crumpling, the passenger is somewhat shielded from the destructive force of impact because less of the force of impact is passed through the drive and passengers.
In the case of the the mercedes Benz car, the crumple zones did not fold, so the force of impact would have had more of an effect on the passengers because the crumple zones did not absorb any of the force.
So looking at the pictures,The Honda car would have been a safer vehicle for the passengers.
Up Honda!  Quite enlightening, I cherish sound, informed and intellectual write-ups like this. Kudos Plaetton. |

Car Talk › Re: Why Do You Drive With Your Headlights On During The Day? by ophilly: 8:37pm On Mar 25, 2013 |
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) comes on automatically as you release your handbrake. It forms part of safety features in european and north american cars which is designed to increase mental alertness of on-coming vehicles, it is believed that this feature has reduced road accidents considerably QED(i.e it has not been proven). DRL is low-intensity light even lower than your dim lights, hence it cannot increase your visibility and it has no adverse effect on your battery. |

Autos › Re: Understanding A VIN Report: A Detailed Explanation by ophilly: 2:52pm On Mar 17, 2013 |
I had no knowledge of VIN before. On learning about it, out of curiosity, I decided to check it. It's a Camry '01. I found out it has a salvage title. I now took it to my mechanic to find out if it has ever been in any accident, he was unable to detect any traces of accident....this is a car I bought for 1.35m because of it's neatness. So, I don't really understand what this VIN thing is all about. |
