Today I nearly got t-boned by a  BUS as I went to pull out the top of the road, the car moved then decided it had gone far enough and stopped moving. With a bus bearing down on me my only course of action was nail the throttle to the floor and pray that it went. I did get out of the way of the bus but the driver wasn't happy with me. I AM DEFINATELY CONVINCED THIS CAR IS IN A DANGEROUS CONDITION NOW!! For a company that use safety as one of their selling points they should be nailed for false advertising. One of the members in the xc60/xc90 forum thread on this hesitation asked if there was anybody prepared to be a martyr and today it was nearly ME!! I dread to think if my 12 yr old son had been in the car how it would have stood up to a side impact from a "bendy bus"......... |
give us your keys, i have found out from my biking days that bounce remakebly well.
