Above what speed does a side-impact crash with a tree, pole or other vehicle make serious injury or death extremely likely?

The answer

  • 90 km/h
  • 30 km/h
  • 50 km/h Correct
  • 70 km/h

Why that's the answer

A side-impact crash at more than 50 km/h makes serious injury or death extremely likely for you or your passengers. A car's sides offer far less protection than its front.
