If they are supposedly crashing vehicles for ADR certification why would they need our members brand new cars?

Or did they crash a 60 series cruiser in 1986 and have been modifying their designs to suit other vehicles ever since


some links to ARB crash testing footageon a D2 would be great

Vehicle manufacturers provide data / specs...

They have an approved test rig, which is then calibrated to the vehicle they are testing for...

They then crash the 'test rig'...

Have seen the testing chamber.

A video here showing some of the testing, and the crush cans
