HOw safe would VW bus be if it had roll cage, 5 piece seatbelt, ABS brakes. Also mabey spare tire.

Question

Would you be safe in a front end crash with all of that safety stuff

Answer 1

You are determined to get the bus on the road........

Pretty safe with the roll cage and the 5-point seatbelt but again it will cost too much to have abs brakes put on it, remember liability for the shop that works on it...

Answer 2

It would only be as safe as the DRIVER.

EMT

Answer 3

Probably really safe but with all that added weight the wheezy 60 hp VW motor would barely have enough strength to push it over 40 mph -- which would make it VERY safe!

Answer 4

forget the roll cage in a front end crash the rollcage is for  u going of into a  ditch  and you roll so the roof wont crush you and your passagers like tuna fish. a spair tire wont help you in front end crash, and very safe 5 pice seatbelt and abs will :o) but have your 5 piece seatbelt installed by a professonal only so you wont get blamed for accdental death and that professonal will sit down will you tell you all the risks  

Answer 5

Now this is more like it; ditch the ABS plot unless you're Bill Gates. Why are trying to make this bus so expensive? Leave the **** alone. Get in and ride. You need to concentrate more on the vehicles running gear and mechanicals and stop trying to spend so much money on the poopie.
