It's a road with a 40mph limit. No way did that RR crash into the bus at
less than 40mph. One hopes the injury, damage and the air bag recorder
are sufficient evidence to give the driver enough points to keep him
away from other road users for a while.

I wouldn't be so sure.

It's not often that a vehicle will be driven into a stationary
obstruction at 40mph in an urban environment, and in any case, body
damage on modern vehicles can be very deceptive.

It's not difficult to see the difference between skin damage and
structural damage.

As you know, rumpling
panels are designed for absorbing shock and directing energy away from
vehicle occupants.

Indeed. This one clearly didn't.


The driver only had minor injuries, I think that shows how incredibly
safe modern vehicles are. The apparent severity of the crash would have
killed or maimed for life someone in a car from just 20 or so years ago.

"Despite pictures showing serious damage to the car, officers say only
"minor injuries" were suffered by those involved.
A spokesman for Humberside Police said: "We were called at 6.22pm
yesterday reporting a road traffic collision between a Stagecoach bus
and a grey Range Rover.
"People involved sustained minor injuries. The road was closed whilst
debris and the vehicles were moved."

Remind me what safety improvements have been made to the bicycle in the
last hundred years?
