    Default Colt Safety

    Hi all

    So I was bored ... again ... so was wondering, what safety rating the Colt would be/get? I checked NCAP, but it seems the Colt is a little old for them (not to mention their Colt is a car) .

    So what you guys think/say?

    Cheers.

    Ment it as a joke Simon, I am aware they are called L200's on the Island.

    Thanks J, that was informative, if a bit unsettling

    SUVs are reasonably 'safe' due to their

    • weight
    • height
    • solid build

    Look at this video of a Gen1 Pajero vs a small passenger vehicle.
    (I don't think a Gen1 Pajero will score 1 star on the current NCAP system)

    Old school safety techniques, make to other car the "crumple zone"

    Suppose a suspension lift would make it even safer hey
