is the trucks alarm on

[gbruno01]

@mavennes I think so... Often the alarms activate during a side impact test

@somewhatlongdong rolled my 01 f150 4 times going about 70kms and I'm still here in one piece!

@mavennes It's the S.O.S. post crash alert system.

@nonamejoe56 I'm not a stranger to accidents. A guy driving an F150 drifted into my lane and hit me head on. I was driving a 96 jetta. My car was crushed like a tin can. I'm lucky to be alive as the engine burst into flames mins after I got out. He was driving an old school early 90's ford. Only a dent in his number. After that I bought a 2011 F150. Don't want to take any chances again.

I saw some pretty nasty wrecks at the salvage yard when I went to see my car. Scary stuff.

@ThePantyDroper Go to an auto wrecker and that tells you the story. All the f150s in the junkyards that have been wrecked shows that the driver would not be crushed. I seen a brand new toyota truck that was rolled, and the whole roof was the same level as the steering wheel, and seen a chevy truck bent like a banana! When you can actually look inside of vehicles, it also tells you the story. Seen a chev van that the engine went 3 ft into the cab!!!

@nonamejoe56 Good to hear. Those trucks worry me.

@gbruno01 Why don't they just cut out the horn.. it's not like it'll make any significant impact on the test.
