Many drivers think they are safe in a 4x4 but due to their height and weight distribution they are more likely to topple over as a certain gentleman found recently.
In a straight forward collision many factors come into the equation such as air bags.
I was unfortunate enough to have been involved in a collision whilst driving my Jaguar XF where I was side swiped by a VW Polo
The curtain airbags saved me from injury to to my head whereas if I had been driving my 75 I would not have had this protection.
The steering wheel airbag was not deployed in my accident, only the side (curtain) airbag.
Amazingly the Polo survived obviously after repairs but the XF was a total write off.
