In a crash test, what is the chance of a crash?
In the real world, one has to consider other factors. Like the chance of getting into a crash in the first place. I wonder how the relative poor performance of the typical diesel W123 comes into play there. I have had a few close calls that would not have been so close in a car with a bit more get up and go.
Anyway, when watching that video, all I could think was "Step on the right rudder pedal."
