Poor car. By the aftermarket rims I'd guess they like their Yaris.
I'd bet the tanker never even saw the car. At 50kph on a dry road tanks stop FAST. 60+Tonnes with very large amount of rubber on the road at any time makes for good traction. Also if things are working right, the track should be locked up making it less likely to get the car that far underneath. Couldn't find a video of a leopard MBT but here is a bridgelayer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC_7QipzA7E

I would assume the MBT stops better.

Cheers.

On a more positive note, I noticed what type of car the guy in this story drives (scroll down through pics). :)

Actually the Uni-body held together very well given the tanks apparent path over it. That's one tough huevos.
