I think you missed Raphael's point, to me it sounded like he's not having a dig at police chief but at the fact that it's uncommon to hear a level headed police response as opposed to the lately more prevailing "our guy did nothing wrong because police".

Are you saying that it shouldn't be newsworthy if a cop does something "bad"? As in, they're allowed to be a bit bad now and then without everyone going all apes about it, am I correct?

Maybe because when incidents involving "those guys" do happen, police often tries to minimize the PR damage and even avoid assigning any responsibility to the offenders, going as far as returning them to work as if nothing happened. I'm just guessing here though.

Something to do with sudden compression before the corner doing funny things to suspension of the car when you least expect it, i.e. right when you're setting up for a corner. It doesn't take much to upset the car at that speed. Just guessing here.

I understand the movement bit and also the fact that it's damage limitation not absolute prevention when it comes to airbags and other systems and devices. Before watching this video I never realized heads usually travel towards B pillar after "bouncing" off the airbag - perhaps Volvo will develop additional airbag…

True, the more videos of recent test I saw, the more obvious it became. Strange how it's not an issue at all, as you said. Perhaps the impact is not strong enough, but I can't imagine it being less dangerous because of that. Ah well.

I just checked and there is no mention of it in text comments of Qoros 3 test and the head is shown as "green" in infographic so I guess that's top marks. In other videos footage is also cut right after the head is bounced off the airbag so I guess that's that. Still cannot help but wonder how is it OK for this to…

Follow the head in various angles, you'll see what kind of speed it carries as it travels towards the pillar. No impact is shown, but at around 43 second mark you can see it eventually would hit the pillar. I'll go check if there is any mention about it in Euro NCAP report.

Reluctantly calling bullshit on this. Take a look at the video, why oh why are all shots cut just as driver's head was about to slam against the B pillar after it bounced off the airbag? They were very careful to cut it out, but not careful enough! From 0:40 mark onward you can see what happened.

They look like retouched Volkswagens, and I mean it in a good way.

I refuse(d) to admit, but you might be right. Still, I doubt he was going for a full run-me-over, probably expected a slight hit. Though it's very hard to comprehend what the person sitting in front of the car is thinking. Nothing maybe?

I just assumed it was vodka because I'm having a hard time understanding the logic behind "Imma gonna sit in front of the car, so it runs over me", regardless if it's fraud or ... suicide?

I am, but I'm also glad video got cut off there.

That particular incident looks like too much vodka rather than fraud. Let's be positive though - car did run over him so there's some money coming his way for sure. Unless he died of internal bleeding.

It was just a matter of fucking time before they switched from cars to pedestrians in an attempt to suck some money out of insurance/drivers. At least 2/3 of these incidents were just that. Excluding the asshat who simply ran over a boozed-up person.

On behalf of all bus passengers thank you for not doing this! Although it would be an epic thing to see - not the flying passengers, but the full brake application. As I said, it's hard to imagine what kind of stopping power buses and trucks really have.

Announcement #3 will naturally be Half Life 3. 3 = 3. Right? Guys?

Dude hey dude, dat ice is at least an inch thick, it's fine dude I mean look at me jumping on it dude.

Why are there people jumping on the platform? Why is there a guy tampering with the ramp? Why are all other platforms lowered but this one isn't? Who cares, dashcam was working.

Did that Matt person complain because the cheapest and slowest available diesel engine in Focus was slow and weak? Does he also complain when rain is wet?
