QUOTE(A2R2 @ Sep 3 2017, 12:43 AM) I did actually experience the pusingpusing before with altis(hydroplaning). Thankfully not to severe and no accident. One of the reason as well contributed to this dilemma. I understand how you feel. Spun out and faced traffic on a main road during rain before and survived without accident or incident in a car with little safety features. If it matters to you and you haven't done so already, invest in good tires. Especially those with good wet handling characteristics. |

QUOTE(ahsham @ Sep 13 2017, 10:27 PM) Speed matters. In theory, kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x velocity x velocity , so the speed is the deciding factor, not the weight or size. Most people thought getting NCAP safety 5-star rating means it's a safe car to drive at hight speed. But they didn't know the fact that both Euro and ASEAN NCAP only use 64 km/h in their front collision crash test on a "static" wall. It doesn't apply on a head-on collision like this (unless both were driven at a slow speed of 30 km/h, which were unlikely). Mass is also a big part of your equation in kinetic energy. If not, raindrops would have killed us all. There's also dissipation and absorption of energy in a crash. Every vehicle is different in this respect. A larger vehicle has more area to spread this energy. |
