Even at speeds over 100 km / h and when fully loaded modern cars are pretty safe. Drivers are able to maintain control over the vehicle and under braking and at emergency maneuvering.
According to a recent study, which had known car magazine "Auto Bild", at a speed of 130 km / h the driver heavily loaded car will slow to a complete stop without risk to fly off the track. The same can be said about a drastic change lanes when suddenly labeled bypass obstacles.
In test races "Auto Bild" involved cars of different classes that are particularly popular with motorists in Germany. Thus in each case inquisitive German experimenters were not lazy maximum load machine in full compliance with the specification that indicates the automaker.
When braking and slalom on highway vehicles, of course, fell in a snowdrift, but he was completely controlled. The time required to complete stop vehicle also was different. Serious deviation or departure car into a ditch prevented standard safety systems, such as common nowadays systems stability and dynamic stability.
The best results of these tests showed BMW 5 Series GT, Volkswagen Golf and Audi A6. In the overall standings by two kinds of tasks these models took the first three places respectively. Decent figures also showed Opel Meriva, Ford Mondeo Turnier and Dacia Duster (single vehicle without ESP system in factory configuration). Worse, according to Abendblatt.de, behaved model Citroen Berlingo, Hyundai ix55 and Fiat Panda.
Summarizing optimistic this is not meant to global competition, the organizers reminded motorists that the poor distribution of the goods in the car and insufficient tire pressure affect the operation of such systems and, as before, can be the cause drifts and serious accidents.
