RR vs Jag

[MercedesDriver]

A bit surprising to see so much damage on PM’s Jag after a slow shun in the back.
PM’s Jaaag Linky
I just hope everyone inside the both cars are okey and I truly feel sorry for the guy driving the RR tbh, he must feel awful.
So, what’s going to be the next PM’s daily?

PERFORMANCE ALL-ALUMINIUM BODY
XJ's all-aluminium body, the core of its dynamic performance, creates a stiffer, stronger and, most importantly, lighter architecture. Developed using aerospace bonding and riveting techniques, XJ's 100 percent aluminium monocoque body structure does not have a single welded joint. With up to 50 percent of XJ's aluminium coming from recycled sources, XJ leads the way in sustainability.One of the lightest cars in its class, XJ's excellent power-to-weight ratio improves all aspects of performance with no compromise to its strength. Acceleration is improved, and because the engine has to work less, it lowers fuel consumption and emissions. Its aluminium construction also enhances ride comfort, handling, agility and feel, connecting the driver seamlessly to the car and the road.The inherent strength of aluminium and the monocoque construction offer safety benefits too. The lower weight improves braking performance and reduces the kinetic energy involved in any impact. Aluminium absorbs significantly more energy than steel when it is deformed and, because there are fewer joints, XJ's strength is increased further still.

The PM's Jag probably weighs a lot more than most similar cars - not so easy to push down the road.

Alloy or not it is Write off. I don't believe they are going to repair it.

They have already rung the local mobile dent removal man

How can you feel sorry for the RR driver. Either he is incompetent or his training manual needs to be re-written.

Well I do feel sorry for him.

All that money for the Range Rover and the collision avoidance braking didn't work

I can't help but think that if this incident had happened anywhere else but in the UK the 'presidential' motorcade would have just got on with it and the 'protester' would have become a smear on the pavement while the operatives driving the convoy would have had nothing but the principals safety in mind and carried on regardless.

In all seriousness, it'll be disabled. One of the expected duties for the RR will be to shove/ram things out of the way if required, as clearly demonstrated!

Don't know what you're talking about. That's a perfectly acceptable panel gap at British Leyland

It does not look major. A minor pull on a frame machine should line everything back up. Aluminum has some memory, just not as much as steel.

It looks like the report was deleted on BBC.

Wow, I watched the lunch time news and thought to myself just how very close those cars were to each other...then this news !!!!

 

[Cherrypd]

Oops. Perhaps he misinterpreted the 2m rule or guideline or common sense.

Perhaps BJ put out a D notice ?
