We’ve heard of slalom and skid pad tests and a whole bunch of other tests but this one beats them all. A group of Americans –we don’t know any details concerning the how’s and why’s, where taken to the famous Nurburgring race-track in Germany to learn how to slow down a vehicle in case your brakes died or if you suddenly came across a big accident that you didn't have time or space to avoid using the brakes. Forget about using the gearbox to slow down as these folks were guided into taking a more drastic action: they were taught how to throw the car on the guardrail! It’s a 5min long video but be WARNED; the sound of metal meeting metal is dreadful as chalkboard scratching.
