"Proper" cars tend to be able to join a motorway without rolling over...

aixam and microcar are in 3 groupings... diesel or petrol 500/600 and "moped licence" restricted to 30mph 400cc

"normal" aixam and microcar are just very small very light cars (max 550kg) the petrol ones easily doing 100kph (65mph) and diesels a little less (my aixam 500 diesel "easily" gets to 60mph)

they are very light and "skittish" if misused, the diesel aixams (in good setup) races to 30mph and then levels out.

The experts also said the same about your car it seems.

the highway dept, fire brigade, ambulance and police ALL said nobody could survive the impact.... BUT we undid our seatbelts and walked away.....

Are you sure? I doubt all those experts could be wrong, and you do seem to have a strong penchant for necromancy.

I bought the wife an old microcar and she crashed..... ok destroyed it...... (pictures on aixam microcar forum on yahoo).... it "elked"... like a tank slap... 3 spins and a full somersault... ending at rest below an articulated lorry on the m6......

Have you written to all the people who were late for work, flights, dates, job interviews, funerals (etc) as a result to apologise yet?

they are "runabouts" originally for french countryside but also spain etc.... NOT for distances....

<sperg>

original speed about 70 and joining the motorway.... then all went wrong....

<sperg>

as said... no "proper" car would have survived and the experts agree that ALL occupants would have died.......... it bounced rather than impacted.

from a devoted fan of aixam and microcar.....

1 - If it's not made for distances, why are you putting it on the motorway.

2 - Normal cars don't 'elk' whatever the hell you're on about there. I'm sure even Elks don't 'elk', can you show a picture of something being 'elked' or 'elking'. I feel like I've said 'elk' a lot. Elk.

3 - what are you blathering on about trying to defend a spazchariot on a bike forum? If you've read a 10 year old thread (I admit I've not looked at the thread because reasons) you'll surely have worked out you're about to get the urine extracted in the most humiliating way possible.

4 - Elk.

Elk (v). To roll simply as a result of steering input. Like normal cars don't (with the exception of SUVs and the 1st gen Merc A Class. And microcars apparently. I thought this thread was protesting their safety. I once drove my 5-series onto a motorway and didn't die. I didn't even roll it.)

tl;dr = "My car is so safe it rolled as a result of lightly steering out of an acceleration lane onto the main carriageway"
