Looks like the car stopped but the bumper kept going
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

If they think trees are a better option than road dividers, they are in for a rude awakening.

Safety first: theu put nice devider behind, to avoid an other drunk chinese hits it also in the back !!
Or would it be to avoid he escapes ??

Looks like a clear cut case of the trees muscling in on the road dividers game. They probably heard so many tales of Chinese crashing into the dividers this tree said "Hold my beer..."

I’m not a scientist, but I was always under the impression that trees (of substantial size) were the worst things for a vehicle to collide with.
Colliding with walls and other vehicles, they will collapse, crumple or shunt, to a lesser or greater degree, absorbing some of the impact, and reducing inertia, large trees on the other hand are the proverbial immovable object, and if a vehicle collides with one, all the forces are directed back at, and absorbed by, the vehicle and occupants.

Yep, trees are one of the worst things to hit at high speed. Especially big ones.Chad Sexington wrote: ↑Fri Sep 09, 2022 3:49 pmI’m not a scientist, but I was always under the impression that trees (of substantial size) were the worst things for a vehicle to collide with.

If you look at those pictures, the tree is not that thick, maybe 12 inches? It has been bent backwards slightly but that's all. Imagine one 2 or 3 feet thick, that won't budge an inch.
