The gf was on her way home from work on Maple, turning onto Sweethome, when a black 2000 or so bodystyle Ford Mustang (she said it was a V8…I trained her well) was sitting UNDER the light so he couldny see it change. When he realized that the light changed, he goosed it and slammed head on into a van in the (south facing)turning (east) lane. I was just curious if it was anyone on here and hope everyone made it out ok. He’s probably going to end up with somekind of ticket. He DEF. cut the lane too short from how I picture it. Also, a tip…dont sit under the light far enough that you cant see it. ---

I can attest to the difficulty in seeing a light whilst driving a 94-04 Mustang. I tend to stop short (when the top is up anyways) because the vertical viewing angle is so crappy. When the top is down it’s a different story - as you can imagine, there’s nothing to get in the way :-). That still doesn’t excuse the dumbass driving skillz that apparently took place. ---

Yeah, the 'ol lady said everyone “looked” ok (the driver of the mustang look like he realized he killed his car for good). She also just told me she ~thinks~ she saw him actually kick the ass end out and didnt really hit the brakes = why the airbags went off hitting a parked car when he only went from the middle of the intersection to the front of a van…what like 40-50ft. ? ---

its either 13.8 or 14.8 mph to a dead stop deploys the airbags ---

its not based on mph, its based on g forces related to the impact. Thats what triggers the airbags in most modern vehicles. ---

> [@LXIFLYBY](#): > > its not based on mph, its based on g forces related to the impact. Thats what triggers the airbags in most modern vehicles. I’m not going to argue, but there was a show I watched about it that said that. Maybe 13 or 14mph to dead stop = X g force? Who knows.
