Modern headrests have greatly reduced whiplash in car accidents.
EXCEPT for some reason GM vehicles (at least Suburbans/Tahoes) don't have them in their middle seats. Middle rear: no headrest. Middle middle: no headrest. I recently saw a Suburban with a front-row bench seat. Middle front: no headrest. Almost bought one before I noticed this. (Also the console was a dome for apparently no reason so you could never put anything on it ever.)
Ford Expedition (including Max) has headrests on every seat.
Oh and another thing: GMs always turn on their backup lights for non-backup reasons. Absolutely terrible.

the car had 50,000 dollars in damage .
although they transported us from the accident to the hospital only injury i had was from a knee air bag the lexus has that goes off with the main airbag . just a bruise .
my wife had bad bruising from the seat belt and airbag .
but we walked away unscathed.
the guy originally told me he didn’t see the light , but once the police came he changed his story .
the guy next to me had a dash cam and caught everything so he sent me a copy.
his company took full responsibility once they saw the video .
first thing i had done on the new lexus was have the factory dash came put in
i have the dash cam footage if anyone wants to see it


Re: BTC in the PP
Yikes, I'm really glad you're okay mathjak. And the missus for that matter.
Seeing the dashcam footage would indeed be interesting.

Mathjak, it looks like you appended some media to your last post but it looks like the forum is unable to parse it.
Is anyone else able to view Mathjak's attachment?

Re: BTC in the PP
yep the lexus did a great job protecting us .
air bags sandwiched us in and i really like the idea of the knee airbag .
i had jumped out of the car fast , just in case the other guy tried to run .
but my wife couldn’t get out because the way the car was hit my side elongated and her size contracted so the fire department had to get her out . they used this small, spreader to open the door .
what was crazy was automatically the car dialed an operator . so my wife is in the car and the voice goes , do you need help?
she couldn’t breath well because her chest got hit hard so she goes yes .
the operator goes what do you need ? she goes i don’t know send everybody.
in the mean time i am with the other driver and i called 911 …. i didn’t know the car auto dialed so i am still on reporting it and i see two fire trucks and police cars coming .
that was amazing response for new york city .
the police saw the video and deemed him 100% at fault .
they told my wife and i to go to the hospital and they would get all the information for us and arrange to tow the car .
our insurance company settled in a week it was so cut and dry with the video .
