When we talk about SUVs, the first thing we think of is safety and power. However, no matter how true it is, even the most modern technologies cannot oppose the laws of physics. The video, taken at a roundabout in Birmingham, shows a Land Rover Discovery Sport flipping over after running into a Toyota Yaris.
After deciding to change lanes to avoid waiting, the driver suddenly presses the accelerator pedal and makes contact with Toyota. Due to the speed and angle of contact, the Land Rover rises into the air and flip over on the roof. The windows on the Land Rover were broken, the roof, front bumper and bonnet were damaged. However, the most interesting thing is that Toyota came out of this without any significant damage.
If you still think SUVs are safer in traffic, we’ll remind you of the results of the NHTSA study. According to this study, SUVs in a car accident will flip over in 20% of cases, while this probability for limousines and coupes is 10%.
