  • yea dont get how he could possibly be doin 27km/h less unless he has brembo brakes and the other guy has no brake pads or somethin!

  • And a GTR doing 80 wouldn't hit it at all...

  • i dont get how one hits at 5 k's 5 isnt half of 60, 30?

  • @jamabar it has to do with the kinetic energy of the 2 cars the one doing 65 km/h will have 15% more energy than the one going 60 km/h

  • @jamabar When you decelerate, even at a constant rate, you are traveling less and less each second, so it takes a shorter distance to wipe off the lower parts of the speed than the higher parts.

  • @Porsche911GT3RSCUP Speeding is for Closed courses and tracks, not the public/open road, where you endanger everyone's lives, not just yours.

  • @Porsche911GT3RSCUP Yup killing your self is fun? and the truck is stopping because thats how the AD is but yeah your right im sure the truck would of kept going

  • @dontbecutk exactly, its just what would happen, because generally they would see the truck before that stage anyway. there is also no certainty that the cars would be that far away in a crash, might be wet, the cars could also swerve to avoid the track, and so on and so on... its just showing the difference 5km/hr makes... like if the truck was another couple of metres away, the second car would have also only barely hit the truck. wish more people could see the video for what it is like u did

  • TAC videos are amazing!

  • There is still the problem of area. One car gets to hit a full broadside and the other is speared by the tailgate.

  • @stru81 Thats because they are using real stunt drivers, if the car going 65 hit full broadside, the driver would be seriously injured.

  • @npage009 No, US NHTSA crash tests show that a 56 kph frontal crash in a car like the one shown could be survived with minor to moderate injuries. 32 kph has 32.7% of the impact energy as 56. I think the stunt driver, in a 32 kph impact, would only be shaken up.

  • @npage009 This is indeed correct. I emailed the Professor in this video to ask and he confirmed it to me.

  • This is one of my favourites, the other is the one where the drowsy driver slams into the roadworks vehicle and the car fireballs. Sounds kind of morbid, really.

    I love how TAC ads have always looked 100% real, there's never an ad where you can stop and say "that was clearly just a mannequin" or "well that was CGI-ed". They've gone a bit soft in the past few years, the TAC, I think - back in the 90s it was a lot more graphic. They have much more impact on me than todays ads.

  • @mrmaestrom Agreed, I believe they should be like the 90s where they're pretty graphic and contain a storyline where more people are shown to be grieving.
