Wasn't part of the issue they were basically driving around on dry-rotted tires?

Balliver Shagnasty posted:Speed doesn't kill. The sudden deceleration against normally immovable objects, on the other hand... There are people who died with snapped necks by getting rear ended while beeing perfectly stationary. In that case, I'd say the sudden acceleration of an normally immovable object might also be bad. Then again, I can't see this happening with a semi-modern car. Whiplash, yes. Death, not very likely?

Colostomy Bag posted:Wasn't part of the issue they were basically driving around on dry-rotted tires? I had heard this, yes. Supposedly the car was still on its original tires (a 2005 model being driven in 2013) and only had a few thousand miles on it, so it had spent most of its life motionless. Also, they were reportedly going over 100mph, and the Carrera GT notably has no electronic stability or traction aids.

Lord Ludikrous posted:You can view the MOT history of any car online provided you have its number plate, and you can view the test centre if you're the registered keeper. Really handy if you're car shopping and want an idea of how its been treated. Its one of the very few things the government has implemented that works really well. There are plenty of bent MOT testers tho even in the time of everything being on record. I still see plenty of unroadworthy shitheaps that somehow have an MOT, plus I've spoken to people who have just been handed the MOT cert without the car being present.

You'll always get people who can and will cheat the system, but I think overall the MOT regime does a good job of keeping the vast majority of deathtraps that often come up in threads like these off our roads.

Definitely agreed. When I see the rolling heaps of shite that seem to infest the American roads, I stop whining when my car fails an MOT because of a worn suspension bushing or a blocked washer jet.
