Just how easy is it to flip a car sideways....
We all see the movie, they shoot out a tyre, the car immediately swerves, which they have already shown as complete bunkum, but then it does a sideways flip.
Maybe they take out the driver?..
Can you just yank the wheel that hard at something like 50mph that it will swerve that hard you go on your roof?...
So how easy is it to flip a car on normal roads, under normal conditions... without outside "help".
Sure if you hit a loading ramp with two wheels, your going over, but would a kerb do that?...
Can you just steer into a flip?... (top gear have shown just how easy that is with the Reliant Robin, Three wheeler) but a normal domestic non race car at normal road speeds or just above.
How extreme do the conditions have to be.
We are considering the car-chase scenario on normal road with normal traffic, so high-speed is not going to be available, so speeds would have to be what could be achieved in normal traffic....
But obviously, they wouldnt be doing the test on normal roads....
