I just realized I never posted the video of the 116i crash test. Here it is crashing into a "soft" divider at 102 kph.




And yes, trucks over here really do not speed much. They have speed data recorders on-board and when the special "truck polizei" stop them, they check the data VERy closely. Truck driver can only drive eight hours per day as well. And must take breaks too - durring that eight hour drive per day.
