What they failed to say was, This is an old taxi ( A Fairway ) the newer taxis ( the TX series ) have child seats built into the centre armrest, I used to drive taxis and every child that got in my TX1 went in the child seat. No Seat, No Journey.
Buses aren't safe lol. No seatbelts at all and a tonne of hard plastic and metal to be flung into, not to mention all the other people that will hit you after you've hit said plastic and metal. I've been thrown out of my seat from a bus hitting the brakes hard, let alone hitting something else.
really? I didn't know that, I know my ford galaxy (older models not sure bout newer ones) you had an option for built in child seats but I didn't know the taxis did now
Yeah, I drove a cab in Brisbane Australia for many years, and it's a problem, on many levels. Firstly, the attitude and opinions and preferences of the parents / guardians are sharply conflicting. Secondly, you can put an obedient 5 year old in a normal seat and belt, and as long as he/she behaves, it works. But an inquisitive 3 yo just will not sit. A good car seat is like one of those restraints that Hold Hannibal Lecter when he's transferred. It has to be. But the parents can be just as much of a problem as the child, perhaps worse. For example, some like to put the child on their lap, belt around both of them. So you explain that the weight of the adult will then squash the child from behind, and some get quite irate... It's an emotional topic as well as a practical one, and people can very sharply stop making any sense. The more logical and insistent you try to be, the more angry they get.
It's a shame Top Gear doesn't have even 10% of the seriousness and consumer relevance of Fifth Gear. This show manages to be very entertaining while also being responsible, interesting and appealing at an ordinary level at the same time. And it is not about "unique selling points" any more - the two shows have clear followings and identities after all these years. I think this show will outlast Top Gear, frankly (and I say that as a huge fan of TG - or, at least, a huge fan of the show between the Clarkson reboot and about 2010), because it isn't a becoming a repetitious parody of itself, which is what TG has, sadly, become. Clarkson and the rest - take note or give up!
I was a cab driver in the 1980's and had a side on crash with a Ford Granada (drunk driver). My adult passenger sat in the back on the left (nearside) side. When the Granada hit she was propelled to the right side and her forehead hit the offside rear door where it is curved under the window. Her head creased the door. She refused an ambulance but the next day she was rushed to hospital. No seat belts in those days. The cab was a mess but was repaired. Shortly after, the chassis came away from the body!
Didn't Volvo or Saab have a built in child safety seat in their cars at one point in the 90's? Maybe it was a mini van of some sort. Why can't new car makers build those into Black Cab designs? No child should be riding unrestrained. Perhaps a 4-point child carrier a parent could wear and strap in to a 3-point belt of some kind? An interesting engineering exercise to say the least! I don't have kids or grandchildren, so for me I don't even have to think about it.
I fully understand the seriousness of this test. That being said however, when I saw the kid flying through the glass all I could think of was Spaceballs.
+Lukeno52 Yep! The old Austin Taxis are so reliable that they were only finally taken off the streets and replaced with LTis because of the fact that they were more polluting than the newer models. I'm considering buying one and kitting it out with a Catalytic Converter, they're that good.
Also - there is an issue with adult passengers not belting up. People who belt up in my taxi are in the minority. I can actually instantly recognise the sound of someone hitting the floor, or the dividing screen. Even at 5mph if you have to stop quickly, it'll send your passengers flying.
I used to own one of these for about a year. The dealer told me that in a black cab your crumple zone is the other car. Compared to modern vehicles this thing almost counts as an armoured car. I'd like to have seen them crash the beast into something modern. Seatbelts are essential though.
They could just design the seat with a built in child safety seat. I'm in the US and for many years the Dodge Caravan Mini Van had a middle row seat that folded out into a child seat. Just a thought.
This aired around 2006/07. Fairway’s only went out of service in London in around 2012 so there would’ve still been hundreds left in service around the airtime.
I hope the recommendation at the end was sarcastic, if a bus is going to get into an accident it can't slow down as fast which means you run into it at higher speed and it has even less restraints. Just because its slow to accelerate doesn't mean its slow at all times.
Dec exactly, and because buses haven't got seat belts children and adults are gonna be thrown around inside in an event of an accident so it isn't any safer than a taxi
Simon Parnham Exactly, if anything the taxi is a better bet because it's more nimble too, if you turn to quickly in a double decker bus it's going to fall over, the taxi can avoid and stop before the collision even happens.
love these videos! I've only had a tree jump out in front of me and I busted my head against the windshield and where I braced my self on the steering wheel at the 3 and 9 position, the wheel bent towards the dash in a vw rabbit and I'm 6'8" and very lucky. When your young you think your not gonna crash, think again.
When I was learning to drive, we were taught to switch the seat-belt on for kids as a 2 point belt, and put the other part behind the child's back. I think this is a good way for this speed of travelling, and costs nothing.
I was in a black cab accident years ago. Two young lads were trying to push start their car at the top of an hill and lost control before the driver could jump in. It hit my taxi which was going along a main road which the hill road joined. The taxi was spun round and ended up facing in the opposite direction perched on a very low brick wall that was in front of a petrol station. I was badly jolted but walked away but the driver had to be taken to hospital.
the bus would have the same if not worse effect on the child, it would still send the kid flying through the cabin. a simple belt type harness which strapped through the rear seat belts would be a good option as it wouldn't weight much and could fit in a small carrier bag
I knew a lady who had her baby on her lap when the car was hit head-on at about 10 mph/15 kmh. None but the baby was injured. She pitched forward, crushing her baby between the facia (dashboard) and her body. The baby was killed.
Had there not been the toughened glass partition, the child dummy would have probably been sent flying though the windshield upon impact and eventually wound up on the hard road, inflicting more injuries on itself.
Oh, they recently changed the design? Sorry, last time I was in London was 18 months ago. Forget what I said. (I really have to research before answering...)
The law is a bit of a weird one here. For example I drive a TW200 - which is a similar interior layout to a London cab except bigger. The children stay in their pram in my taxi, and I restrain it like I would a wheelchair. The pram isn't designed for this, and if you took the law letter-for-letter, I should probably be putting the pram away in the boot. But common sense prevails - the pram is secured by four restraints rated to 250kg each, and the child has at least some form of restraint with their 'pram seatbelt' things.
+Derek Sanders Well, the crash test dummy slammed through the left side of the partition. Assuming that the taxi is a Right-Hand-Drive, the driver would probably survive with mild-to-moderate injuries from a 50kg kid slamming through the window and showering glass over him.
+Timothy Reth Yeah... They're terrifying. I heard Stephen King was also interested in using them in a novel or something. God man, grow a fucking pair...
No need to be a douche. Never did I say they were terrifying. Simply that they are creepy... Like my stalker, ugly and everywhere I fucking go. Just imaging one of these following you down dark foggy back alleys on a late Friday night. Yes quite a few cars would be creepy in that sence but this is the vehicle that comes to my mind.
Most under 2's will be in a pram or buggy which should fit the space for a wheelchair in TX2 or E7 - facing rearwards and against the passenger 'cage' bulkhead, secured with the straps already in place to hold a wheelchair, and baby also secured in the pram/buggy. What does beggar belief us that many taxi drivers using cabs properly equipped to carry wheelchairs securely placed against the bulkhead, will still leave the wheelchair and occupant 'parked' across the cab and relying solely on the wheelchair brakes to prevent the wheelchair from crashing through the side door in a severe turn or rotational crash. As for a head on crash ... the wheelchair and occupant will roll over and hit the bulkhead... Care to have a re-run?
Between the ages of 3 and 15 the law states that children MUST be restrained in taxis and minicabs... and it's the DRIVER'S responsibility. They don't mention that. From 15 years and above it's the individuals responsibility.
+Bio logy What I actually meant was that they didn't mention that OVER 3 years to 15 they must wear it. They only said UNDER. You could obviously by elimination say that over 3 years they must wear it, but that doesn't factor the 15 year age cap at all. That is never mentioned.
who says the adult would have walked away from this? The taxi has a far to stiff "crumble zone" what would result in a massive peak of G-Forces. You can't do a test like this without measuring the G-Forces. Compare the deformation of an modern Car and have a closer look at he front up to the passenger cell - it deforms much more, for good reason.
So in a bus crash with something solid like a wall, even the adults won't have seat-belts, except the driver who if they're lucky will just lose their legs only! &B^{O?
Bro , I'll survive at 30 mph , the highest speed that I may survive is 70 mph or sometimes 90 mph , I'm a big person weighing in 250 lbs , sure I might be in pain.
Don't some taxis have a row of seats that face backwards? If so put the child in one! As Grandma used to say "When travelling by train try to get a carriage near the middle and sit with ones back facing the engine." OK modern carriages are far safer than the ones that had wooden coachwork but the idea is still sound.
That kind of makes sense, but in a car you don't know from which side you will be hit. A frontal collision is likely to be at a higher speed than someone hitting you from the rear, but side impacts can also be at high speed. I think Mythbusters (or some other tv show) tested the sitting backwards on a plane or train idea. The problem was that you get hit in the face by all the stuff flying around in the cabin. Best would be to find a seat for 2 facing the back of the carriage then (assuming you have any control over seating arrangements in modern public transport).
I assume that the soundtrack after the crash would be the same as that when a child falls out of a shopping trolley. A sickening thud followed by the kid screaming it's lungs out. NOT a sound anyone wants to hear
How many times in the history of black cabs has a single cab crashed into a lump of concrete at 30 mph ? Never , due to the training and competence of the driver who has spent year's doing the knowledge and two police driving tests to qualify as a London taxi driver ? Safest form of transport in the world I believe..........
Personally I wouldn't trust a bus. No seatbelts and people standing. If the bus tips then there are devastating effects. In a double decker bus if that tips and people fall into the stairs then uprights then the people on the stairs would have an issue. Unlikely but possible.
+Zeldagigafan Yep. When buses crash, the results are actually very grisly - Most buses (not coaches) don't have _any_ restraints, and are full of metal bars and crossbeams for unwitting passengers to slam into in the event of a crash. Plus, all that empty space means that objects can easily pierce the bus's fragile aluminum skin and skewer passengers inside.
If the adult dummy had a seatbelt on, why didn't the child dummy? Even in a way that was done before car seats were in existence eg chest strap behind the back. If there is a seat belt there it should still be used and doesn't actually give a clear, genuine view of what could happen if they had the seatbelt on.
A Bus is more dangerous than the taxi. Nodoby is belted and if it goes really wrong, a fat 300 lbs adult lands on the kid. Nice to see these crashtests.
You should have done a bus crash test. I always feel unsafe on buses and think there should be optional seat belts there.
Whenever I get on a bus even if there are seatbelts nobody uses them.
I think they should be mandatory like in every other vehicle that has them.
J Robson that is so true once a school bus went on its side

I can tell you trying to hold yourself against the G-forces from a bus doing an emergency stop isn't fun,
Nowadays London taxis have built-in child seats where you'd usually find the centre armrest.

For the back seat of the taxi you can always opt for the back seats VW Sharan, which has a simple system for children.
All I could think about watching the child dummy fly is the song "Free Falling" by Tom Petty LOL

often alot of passengers in central london in black cabs dont bother to wear provided seat belts
im from the future both TX4 and new TX have built in child seats but also law has changed to wear seatbelts
These cars are pretty solid, much better than expected , just add safety belts for 50 Dollars thats it!

@@PeterWasfield No, these black cabs were used in nearly every town and city in the UK. But most have been replaced by the newer version.
they run on children
I skipped through right before the crash and just saw him holding a doll
Were do you guys get your high tech crash test dummy
Most under 2's will be in a pram or buggy which should fit
the space for a wheelchair in TX2 or E7 - facing rearwards and against the passenger 'cage' bulkhead, secured with the straps already in place to hold a
wheelchair, and baby also secured in the pram/buggy.

I knew it would be bad, but I didn't expect the child to be chucked all the way through like that
who says the adult would have walked away from this? The taxi has a far to stiff "crumble zone" what would result in a massive peak of G-Forces.

The “child” dummy did a perfect scorpion kick.
some new cars have a child seat intergrated inside the seat as a , could be interresting to put them in taxis ? no?
Why not use an elasticized race harness, this way it will cater to all sizes
volvo v70 have a backseat wich you can fold up so the seatbealt will fitt for kids who needs a seat.
Most new taxi's have provisions for children but what about standing passengers on buses and trains???
Does it normally smoke like that?
It's an old car
Rear facing seats? Limos too.
In new york some taxis have child seats on the car
