That is a head on collision. The only reason it appears to be glancing is because the car hit the barrier a bit more to the right and pushed the barrier back on that side, which allowed the force of the impact to be directed more to the right and upwards.

![]() Yep, I agree on all points. It reminds me of the F1 crashes where all that remains of the car is a cage with a driver inside.
Makes me think, if the manufacturers can produce a high quality cage when they need to, like in the itty bitty Smart, just how safe could all of our vehicles be with the same attention?

![]() I have to say that regardless of all the saftey features and all the money I would save on gas I will take my full size sedan over that coffin on wheels. The smallest thing I will drive would be my gf convertable and that is a fair sized car. I work around tractor trailers and Ive seen some compacts after hitting a semi and the semi allways wins. But I would love to see a tractor hit a smart car, but hopefully not with some one in the smart car.
just my 2 cents worth.

![]() Well no matter what I'm sticking with my full size GMC 3/4 ton PU. If I went into the ditch in one of those things up here they wouldn't find me until spring. With the traffic up here my vehicle is probably considered a sub compact.

![]() I wouldn't feel safe using one as a highway vehicle either, but that's not what they were designed for anyway. As an economical, inner-city commuter I think they are a great alternative.
