Gaz6002 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I can say this having driven one around Millbrook, but whatever you do PLEASE don't buy - or even think about buying - a G-Wiz. http://i.thisislondon.co.uk/i/pix/2010/10/carcrashhendon415.jpg They're lethal.

Gaz6002 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Added a picture to the first post. The woman driving managed to do this on her own, no other vehicles involved. They can't officially be classed as a car because they don't pass safety regulations. IMO they should be banned immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People trying to save a bit of money in the risk of their own safety? As long as they don't involve anyone else that is. Though I agree, maybe the customers are not fully aware of the safety issues with these things. Shocking that a 40mph impact into a wall did that to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keron Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 it says no other vehicle involved but there is a silver astra with heavy front end damage in one of the pics?? it probably hit the g-wiz from the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that picture relates to this para: In a separate crash in Hendon last night a motorist suffered serious injuries when his car collided with a fire engine at the junction of Brent Street and the North Circular Road at about 11.50pm. The man, in his thirties, was taken to hospital following the crash. He is reported to be stable. Another crash, in Grosvenor Place next to Buckingham Palace, left a scooter rider fighting for life this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I can say this having driven one around Millbrook.. Gaz, what was you doing driving one around Millbrook! I know what you mean, see loads of them around in the city and driven by quite well off people, purely just for image. Bit like how all the celebrities drive around in Toyota Pruis. They should just drive the hybrid Puris or Civc (the new ones don't look too bad!), a LOT safer than being in one of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Gaz, what was you doing driving one around Millbrook! It was a test day for low carbon vehicles. One of my colleagues rolled one. They're a dangerous and completely useless car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
