Cabover More Dangerous??

The only good things about a COE is it easy to get weight on the steer axle and stay legal on over length loads.

 

I would compare that to a mid sixties chevy van vs a mid sixties chevy pickup,,,in the van(like the COE),the area you are sitting in is the first area to get crushed,and the weight of the motor is behind/alongside of you.this equates to high probability of serious injury.But just about any crash in a truck at highway speeds can easily kill you

 

Well fat cab KWs and Petes are ######, so I say it's worth it!

 

just remember you will be the first one at the scene of the accident

 

I'm sure you could beef the front pins up if you are really worried about it.

 

That applies to most any vehicle. I've heard the same argument about small cars, but you can get killed in a Lincoln Continental just as well as you can in a Honda Civic.

 

nobody can "plan" a safe accident.

They're freak things and nobody can ever take every variable into account to make a 'perfectly safe vehicle.'

Both my instructors drove cabovers most of their careers (20+ years) and neither have an unkind word for them.

 

That says more about your instructors than it does about COE.
