Geez, this is equivalent to crashing into the edge of a solid wall (with all impact force on the left half of the car) at 80 mph! What do these idiots think is going to happen??

Hell, if you took a Hummer and did the same test with an 18-wheeler, do you think the Hummer is going to keep you safe? No chance.

It's even worse than that, because the car with the smaller mass is driven backward on impact.

Nobody has a higher chance of survival in a head on crash. Too many variables.

I do however think that there needs to be more testing when renewing your driver license.
