Toyota Yaris Crash

Question, why were the comments disabled on the YT video?

oh yes, btw, nice touch with your video on the feedback:


All Comments
Adding comments has been disabled for this video.



To me something sounds suspect...you wish to post something up to the masses however you do not have the wherewithal to deal with any response...and then you post up in a forum that you apparently only joined to "inform" us poor ignorant bastards (5 total posts, all only in your newly created thread)...you have no credibility. Nuff said.

On another hand are you attempt to drum up backing to sue Toyota? Are you looking to put people in your corner for a class action lawsuit like those that did with the floormat deal? ...

I was thinking the same thing exactly.

The video is professionally made, and ... er.. well, that's exactly what it looks like.

This is not to say there isn't someone suffering pain and injuries, we understand OP, but I don't know if this forum is the right place for this.

Like I said, we're enthusiasts, and I'd venture to guess that most of us are huge fans of Toyota. We also love the car. Enuff said.

That is not indicative of a *full frontal* collision.

... which they did.

If this is your attitudes then I hope each of you get into an accident and your air bags do not deploy. Then you can tell me how you feel about a safety device that does not properly operate!

Thanks but no thanks.

I also suffered a semi-frontal collision on my Yaris and the airbags did not deploy. But that doesn't mean that the airbag system was faulty. In fact, it's completely the opposite. Had the airbags deployed in that case, I would have probably suffered a broken neck.

PS: Great choice of soundtrack.
PPS: I'm glad your husband is OK. Hope he gets better soon.

We have a 2010 which the other 1/2 drives to work . Would be good to know that the airbags would deploy when some pinhead pulls out in front of the vehicle or passes someone on a double line on a blind corner , etc.. Happens quite often . Guess they don't see the YARIS as a threat .

Really? So Hershey you are an expert in crash safety devises? You know all the exact particulars of the crash to determine that the air bags should have deployed?

This gets torn apart online. The lawyers are gonna have a field day with it!

The sad part is if they try to take it to court, they will probably get a settlement. Man, if only they were more evil, they'd suit the living snot out of 'em and get every penny they've got. My guess is that these people probably could barely afford the payments, and were behind on their bills, and saw big fields of green after the accident. But that's speculation

I don't know if they were at fault or not, but I believe in a zero tolerance policy for accidents. If you get into 1 (maybe 2) serious wreck(s), you should have your license taken away for the rest of your life (before you take someone else's). . . 20% of the drivers out there are causing 80% of the wrecks.

Passenger occupancy detector works I think, the passenger air bag turns on when someone sits there. I think it may only be my air bag, I dont have side curtain air bags so theres only the two main front ones. And I almost was in an accident today because of wet roads, I was lucky I didn't panic and swerved to the side.

There's also the sensors are seat belt pre-tensioners to consider.

Yeah, like the guy in the runaway Prius on the freeway near San Diego, over $700,000+ in debt.

I wasn't even rude when I left my comment on YT, but they were disabled shortly thereafter. She didn't like the responses she was getting, thought we'd all be on HER side.

how bout because you weren\'t paying attention and wet roads just reduced your braking distance....another clueless person behind the wheel

+1 i agree, but u lose respect points for calling someone clueless and accusing them for not paying attention when u dont know them.

when i was a new driver (which i personally still am) i got into an accident my first winter, thought i had more grip then i did and tried to do a curve in the road at slightly under speedlimit. car slid into the curb and wheels were damaged. was it my fault, yes, y? cuz i was inexperienced and didnt know conditions could change that quickly and i didnt know how to adjust properly.

also u do not know if that person almost got into an accident in the rain due to someone elses mistake.

because a skilful driver and one that knows what he's doing will be aware of others on the road won't be mesmerized by the stop lite right in front of him but 5 cars down the road. when you're on the road you're suppose to have your eyes 360 around you and be able to know your position and other's position at every moment you are behind the wheel! if you're daydreaming, fumbling for your George Michael CD, putting on your makeup, talking on the phone, getting sexual favours from a hitchhiker or just being plain stupid STAY OF THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMFAO, i agree, dont get me wrong. but ur not born knowing how to drive. u need sometime to build up the skills. i do feel some people need to learn faster, but lets jsut say in his case in the rain, if the car that is infront of u hits a puddle and gets pulled into ur lane and hits the brakes. how do u prepare for that? i always expect the unexpected and when the unexpected happens and i avoid it i am happy. someone who says they avoided an accident shouldnt be called inexperienced or told to stay off the road.

Thats jsut MIO

i strongly agree with u about multitaskers while driving, and they should not be tolerated.

It's a Canadian model because the show is filmed up there; but when they shoot filler scenes in Santa Barbara (where the show takes place), they use a US model:

I did not realize it was such a privilege to drive a Yaris that I should be "just happy" to be alive. I figured it also involved getting what you pay for!!!

I thought it was your husband who got hit, not you.

I was waiting for your replies PK...thank you. Keep them coming...LMAO!!!
