It looks like one of those LRE type man-made tracks for training to the right of photo.Quote:

About the only thing I go by with the ANCAP ratings is the frontal offset crash results and the side impact results. Once you start looking into how the scores are made thats about the only relevent results that makes a difference for the occupants. For example the side impact pole test - you get 2 points just for doing the test regardless of the outcome.
**Edit, actually thinking about it the side impact test is usless for 4wds as well as I think from memory they get full 16 points by default for being a high riding vehicle
A seatbelt warning is good for a star Im told.Quote:

Seatbelt reminder is worth 2 bonus points, same as just taking part in the pole test.Quote:

Actually it doesn't bong,like the D4,just a red light on the dash.
That bong is a PITA,particularly when tottering around paddocks on the farm,and when the dog is in the pas anger seat,as it works off a pressure sensor.
Regarding the D3 vs Audi incident, here is the original post:
DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WITH A D3 G4 NO#1 IN AFRICA
There is also a bit of physics there as well,a bigger and heavier vehicle will always destroy a smaller,lighter vehicle,it is an A4.
Once again a waste of lives,and a sad end to a G4 D3.
I doubt the impact speed was 200K's
