I drive a 30 ft long Chrysler 300. even though the car has steel reinforcement everywhere, it's a bit disconcerting to see that the only part crumpled like a ball of paper is where the driver is.
He is the hired help after all.
I actually was a Limo driver in LA, you wouldn't believe how people act while in one of these cars. If ask them to use the seat belt they get pissed and look at you like your nuts. I drove. 9 passenger stretched Lincoln newer than the one in this video. Dealing with 9 drunk passengers is a nightmare. The other thing is that because they are paying you they think they can treat you like dirt.
So if you are in a limo. Please use the seat belt. Don't look at the driver like he's nuts if he asks you to do so. And please try to treat the driver with some respect. We're just trying to make a living doing our job. Also if you are kind to us driver's you'll be surprised at what we will go out of our way to do for you. And $2.00 isn't a tip. In that case keep it, you need it more than I do.
❤😮
Yea when you put low class people in something meant for people with high class behavior they're going to act like the dirt balls they are.

I am sure that ass caused at least one crash...

News: Limousine crashes in New York killing 20. Came trying to understand. RIP.
Me Too! How did they ALL die with no fire or explosion?? Well-at 60 mph and no seatbelt on they probably got thrown. I think buses should have them, too. OTOH, if it rolls, it can smash your head like a pile driver. Even on airport shuttle buses, I try to buckle up (if I can find the male and female ends of the belt.)
@@drpoundsign and they did end up rolling off the road.
same ..
Don't order the cheapest limo service? if the limo shows up and its 15+ years old (in the rust belt to boot) immediately apparent that the mechanical state is not tip top. Exhaust leaks) DONT FUCKING GET IN IT!
Pip Me too.
What I learned from this video,
Don't crash your limo, and you'll be just fine.
Watching this after the limo crash in New York that claimed 18 lives in a limo and 2 pedestrians.
1:20 good point
Should do some rear end collision tests on these vehicles. Duplicate what happens if you are hit in the rear while stopped. (like at a stop sign)
3:40 what you came to see, 1:20 what you will come back to see.
True
I am a limo driver and in the United States you do not have to wear a seatbelt if the vehicle that you're driving in has a divider
Do one with a lamborghini or something similar
A person is tempted to wonder how well the seats are attached to the frame of the vehicle so that the use of the seatbelts is actually..."useful". Do these custom car companies building these things actually pay attention to proper engineering at least equivalent to the original manufacturers?
That was great! I've never seen a crash test of a stretch limo.. I don't know if seat belts would help as much as some might think. Don't get me wrong, they'd help, but how much? When the thing is so rigid all that energy is transferred to the passengers. The front section might absorb enough of the energy to make it work. The driver is in a hopeless position.
3:47 CALLIOU HAD A WRECK
Driving a limo should require a CDL
3:42
RIP Limo Town Car.
Poor Lincoln.
Can they do a funeral car crash next time?
Why? They don't drive them very fast during the procession. Plus I've seen a crash test on a 1970's Cadillac hearse and it looked as though a couple more coffins would be needed for those in the front.
did she did it really ???????? 1:21
And how is one suppose to stick their butt out the window if they're wearing seat belts?
these guys are always so shocked when the cars hit the wall.. like wtf do they think will happen???
You know media people
GaudiHitByTram what do you think? marshmallows come out?
GaudiHitByTram Jeez you must be thick.
Not 18 passengers dying, for one.
not all cars are as dangerous as some
I remember watching this episode with my parents when it first aired on Channel 5 in 2008 or 2009. I remember having to reach for a cushion and firmly place it over my groin after the delightful young woman in the purple dress flashed her arse out the window.
ha!
xD
Lol 😂😂
@@Nickk81 Reminds me of a "Wonder Years" episode, when the teen boy refused to go to the chalkboard because "my foot fell asleep." The teacher was in hot pants and something ELSE was wide awake!
the driver is a dead man , lol
In death, limo drivers have names. His name was Robert Paulson.
jonas brave no it was Paul Walker.
Buster Cherry Clearly you didn't get the reference.
Alexander Est He might have gotten the fight club reference, and he was just attempting to make an incredibly bad joke.
Leggo My Ego I suppose with a name like Legoo My ego you are the king of jokes.
I have to constantly pause this video for some enjoyment

Never.
Bang! Bang!

You will always be a pervert, nothing aside from time travel can change that now.
Being your chances of surviving a 60mph impact into a wall are slim to none no matter what you are driving, belted in or not, I would say that the limo is pretty damn safe for the passengers.
Keep in mind that that is a "worst case scenario"...
The extreme mass of that limo pretty much guarantees that any other car hitting this thing will lose horribly.
Yeah. He should have fastened the seat belt on one of the dummies in the rear seat to illustrate how a restrained passenger would survive an accident that an unrestrained passenger would not.
The seatbelts wouldn't have done much because the seats weren't even anchored to the floor
As you can see the rear seats are still ok after the Crash.
seat belts are bolted to the body of the car, not the seat
AgentAndroid yeah like that is just so stupid
AgentAndroid the seat belts aren't anchored to the seats, and with your ass strapped down in them, they would barely move any way. It doesn't make any difference. On top of that, very few cars actually have the rear seat bottoms BOLTED into the floor, they just clip into place.
can crash test a armored cash transport car .. please
After driving stretched Towncars 1M+ miles, it's precisely what I expected. Laws of physics in this type of crash doom the driver, especially as the steering column pushes through his chest.
Don’t need to imagine what would happen, limo crash last week killed all 18 inside.
Yeah. Based on the video, such a tragic aftermath most likely could have been traced back to passengers not wearing seatbelts. Although it's a legal requirement, the fact that limos have tinted windows makes it very difficult to enforce.
1:21 what the hell
dat boi they should of censor it
dat boi hot ass mary me
what
but you can't do the naughty with seat belts on.
+Stig's Italian Cousin And with girls like that, who can resist
+Mrcantfapenough i can
ninja master Good job
you would crush and kill the girl if the limo crashes
Stig's Italian Cousin Your choice. Naughty or dead
Tests like this are more cautionary than truly enlightening. Because the outcome is just pure physics at play, and would be the same no matter what the vehicle is. If you run anything into a concrete wall, loose contents inside will continue forward motion into the nearest hard surface until energy is dissipated. Be it unbelted occupants, or a belted occupants internal organs. Impact equals splat, so it's best to avoid high speed wrecks all together. On a side note, the limo's mid-section held together very well. Downright tank-like,
Perfectly good 4.6 gone to shit right there😩
Good waste of a perfectly nice older Lincoln. Black leather interior and all parts. I wish they used a newer or different model.
17 people sadly ingnored this advice.
It would be interesting to see a crash test of an unconverted Lincoln to compare the deformation of the front section.
Heard about this video from listening to SYSK limo episode.
Same
yes, but then again not many people hire an old LINCOLN
nowadays people hire newer limos which must be safer.....
What about when the sunroof is open with a passenger standing up during a crash. Why not a Princess Di with a drunk driver, a woman screaming at the driver and plenty of pillars?
1:20
“But somehow, seatbelts don’t seem like a part of stretch limo culture”
And That’s Why You Should Drive Limos Instead Of Stretch Limos
0:17 - Is that "Ringo Starr" ????
Me checking TH-cam: Hmm, I haven't seen a crash test on a Limo yet.
I got one (click)
Watching the video till I reach moment 1:21.
Ok I had enough of this video. Who cares, I won't ride a Limo anyways lol
+da_feline_cat are you like 8 yrs old?

@@jacoplaco4794 what did they say?
5th gear has done a lot of crashing........ just saying.
Ouch... these series of videos really make you look at cars and their passengers in a very different way...
evrybody dead and flyng
Everyone complaining about the butt... pause at 2:16 for the real treat.
Yeah I'm complaining,didn't last long enough!!!!!!!!
1:22 for you perverts
Video starts at 3:40
Thanks
The age of the limousine could effect the crashworthiness.
Most people envision crash protection as the resistance to protrusion, i.e. keeping the other vehicle outside your car. That's important to be sure, witness tiny Honda 500 or Smart cars vs. trucks and SUV's. Equally menacing is the sheer 'G' forces. We are reminded of the Lady Di accident, where incredible forces were at play with a large vehicle hitting a concrete pillar. So, at a certain severity of crash, it doesn't matter about the deformation of your car; the forces alone are beyond our survivability. That's why they developed 'crash zones', where the body can fold and dissipate some of the impact. Again, small vehicles have no such area to fold.
MUY BUENA DEMOSTRACIÓN. .EXCELENTE. OK.🌏🌍🌐🌎
How senseless is that? These are beautiful cars and you crash all these dream cars only just for fun … the Lincoln Town Car is a classic collectors car 🚘 here in Germany and incredible expensive here 😡😡😡
It had been used to transport Amy Schumer. The smell had become unbearable and it couldn't be salvaged
I am paused at 1:22. Can someone tell me what happens later?
Hey guys
Do you think it's possible to do this kind of test with a sleeperbus ( nightliner/ tourbus) ?
I think it's really interesting wat happen with this people they are sleeping in the bunks
Cheers
When he hit that bump on the roof I laughed
1:22 why did your arous me?
At 1:22 a girl shows his butt 😂😂
Interesting video! Newer model MKT limos are fully tested and equipped with all the seat belts though.
If it were not for safety I would've preferred the Town Car over the MKT.
don't care about driver????
Not often, drivers are usually seen as just another component of the vehicle, a human shaped machine part, not as a valuable life. (Not just limo drivers, transportation drivers too, IMO)
The presenter be like: "A service about limo safety? That's a fantastic excuse to p*ck up some nice gals..."
Love the long hooded cars but that driver area after a head on is a bit concerning.
Certain Mercedes Lange versions & Grosser versions do leave the factory that way.
2:29 Not to mention having the driver on the curb-side of the car, at least where this is being recorded.
When the limo chrashed into the wall and destroyed the front the limo didn’t explode becuase when car crash tests are made they remove the gas from the vehicles so they don’t explode.
Limo crash? Yeah baby!
1:21, WTF, OMG!
Schoharie "limo crash" looked worse than this, while running into a grassy field...
Even though there dummy's.......the way there layed out after the crash is fucked up realistic.
Moral da história use cintos
I know at one time Cadillac produced limousines where as other companies as you say cut and added. They were the only company that did in modem times.
What about the Packard limousine????????
you guys used a second generation Lincoln Town Car, so...your test does not make sence.
best part 1:21
Weirdo
Friend: How's your day going?
Me: Good.
Friend: Great. What up?
Me: Nothing much. Just watching crash test videos on a Saturday.
Friend: Coo.
Like to have seen a dummy-chauffeur to see how mutilated he would've been!?!
Fifth gear should also use those G-force indicators like Mythbusters use to tell how bad their internal injuries would be (even with seat-belts the deceleration would probably kill you)!
&B^{O?
I wish EURONCAP and IIHS would have crash tests of exotic cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Maclaren ,Rolls Royce etc
Heaps of limos are MANUFACTURED as such. All the US major manufacturers, Mercedes, and several others do
Yes many too are just cut and shut standard cars and will never be as strong as the proper limos. Though generally suffice as to what their intended use is.
0:31 OMG HUGE ONES
5:40 real crash sound believe it or not.
The limo was so old likely first owned owned by Elvis.
It is actually from the early to mid Ninteys.
1992. It's K reg. Couldn't have been owned by Elvis because he died in 1977.
Elvis died on the 70s, thats a Lincoln Town Car of the nineties. Also, the Town Car was released on 1981, so it couldn't be from Elvis.
the problem is most of crash are., vehicle vs vehicle, not with heavy wall, so this is test is useless. only if you going to hit a wall, but I drought it, it would make sense if another car crash with the limon
Bridge support
My pappy said son you're gonna drive me to drikin' if you don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln.
Well,,, at least they die sudden while pretty happy. There are worse ways to go
my Lincoln looked great,but was dangerous junk,underneath, it committed suicide ,all by itself, collapsed under its own weight
5:15 min.: IT WAS AN EXPLOSION!
3:46 JEFFY!!!!!!!!!
And, we are sorry to bring to your attention that the tv show formerly know as 5th Gear will no longer be aired, due the lack of existence of the upper torso of the host and his, uh, ladies.
WoW These things should have a bullet fly out for the driver instead of an airbag!!
A video every chauffeur must watch!!
a better advice than keeping your seatbelts on - JUST DONT DRIVE AND USE A BYCICLE
I try to avoid riding in American cars if I can help it, too unsafe and unreliable compared to their German counterparts.
Yeah, I don't like the idea of plastering my face on the windshield or other parts of the car. Thank god for seat belts.
Bit of a waste of a good limo and some decent champagne.
***** wtf I didn't say anything about the babes in the back with him.
Limos are highly overrated. They have a ride like sitting on a big bag of rocks. Way to ruin a perfectly comfortable and competency car.
Wonder why the seat came out?
3:44 Thank me later.
Going the way of Top Gear then are we... used to be about driving and reviewing cars, now we just crash into shit for more views.
Dont u think they should hit limo or any cars into a vehicle to know the level of destruction coz as driver people face traffic not a concrete wall.
any show like this they gotta ramp up the drama and overreact when the car goes boom...like dubbed in tire screechs in movies
