Ya but don't forget the driver who is at fault is not driving a manual car

D.T.P

for the hell of it, once the auto subaru comes home today ill measure 30m and stomp on the gas. 2.5L 4cyl auto subaru forester. a lot of mechanical loss due to AWD setup but im sure ill get above 25km/h.

gizZzmo

let me know how it goes

D.T.P

Hit 50km/h. Its an auto 03 Subaru forester. I'm sure with accord if you launched it, it would do same if not quicker.

Interesting... I appreciate the experiment, thanks. Just you in the car?

50km/h in 30 meters? wow...that's pretty quick

but looking at the pics, the speed must have been greater than 14km/h...the guy must have floored it.

D.T.P

Just me for the 30m test. Or actually my brother, I counted 30m and he zoomed by. Now driving around in my mums Subaru, I managed to hit 40km/h in the distance of an intersection. Hell from stop sign across the intersection going across the small intersection on a side road managed to hit 40km/h from the line till the front wheels hit the pedestrians walkway lane. First gear in auto cars boogy unless its an ford escort or something.

D.T.P

Btw, how did you figure 30m? Its quite the distance.

gizZzmo

I may have to double check it in person, but figured it out using the measure feature in Google earth

gizZzmo

...or just not stopped

1999blksi

I would agree....the damage seems too great for someone accelerating within 30m.

gizZzmo

ya...now all i gotta do is get insurance to see the light of day

D.T.P

Were there any skid marks from the other drivers car? Or did he just plow into you? Because if he just ran through the light he must have gone faster and slammed on the brakes. Or he launched the car and hit you without braking.

What did the other driver say after the impact?
