OT Hazard warning lights and hard braking

But a Smart isn't tiny in Mini terms.

Nit-picking. The Smart car tested was shorter (50cm) but slightly wider (10cm) than the original mini. Most folk would call that ?tiny?.

That would be the two seater version?

You know if you had watched the video. ;-)

Anyhoo, you said ?no tiny car does well in a crash?, so my point stands.

Bit like comparing apples to oranges?

So you're saying that a two seater Smart car isn't a tiny car? You seen confused.

Do I have to quote your exact words *again" or will that be as futile as before?

Not in the same terms as a Mini, no. Is that too hard for you to understand? Formulae 1 racing cars are quite small and do well in crashes too. In your world any car is a car to be compared like for like?

You might just read the post I was replying to, which was about the Mini. A small family car. Not a two seater, single seater or indeed minibus.

F1 cars are somewhat longer than a smart for 2 as in the video. I bet the F1 car wouldn't like being hit by a mart. The F1 has a much longer "crumple" zone that the smart would go through quit easily.

It not the same as a mini but it is ?a tiny car?. Maybe next time you should try saying what you mean first?

It?s very easy to see that you?ve moved the goalposts and can?t say what you mean.

Clearly futile. You made a ?tiny car? generalisation when you meant ?minis?.

As you don?t seem to be able to read your old posts...
