    This one cracked me up.

    An old lady, who can't go very fast any more, wants to be across the road. A waiting idiot in a posh Merc gets impatient. Old lady properly owns him.

        What makes it extra funny is, notice how she sets the driver's airbag off:)

                And that is what gives it away as a fake - no way in hell would an old lady bashing a bumper with her bag be able to deploy an airbag; as a general rule, the sensors are looking for a minimum speed of around 14-mph, and a rapid deceleration, or a severe frontal impact (I'm fairly certain I could kick my cars front bumper and not set the airbag off)

                    Yup, let's have a scientific test.

                    1.handbag whack
                    2.firm boot application
                    3.sledgehammer tap
                    4.sudden braking
                    5.brick wall

                    Should yield definitive proof.

                    BTW did anyone see a TV show a few weeks go, late evening midweek, which basically consisted of ancient old dears winding people (mainly yoof) up on camera? Not sure if it was a one-off or is a series but it was extremely funny.

                      No, but only because I like my paintwork the way it is :snork:

                        You're right, watching the video again, it probably is fake, but its still funny though.

                        Notice I said 'probably', I have read of cases where the airbag has gone off when it shouldn't have, so it was still vaguely plausible until I realised one minor point. Airbags are designed to detonate and inflate in microseconds, but once deployed, they also deflate very rapidly too, the intention being to come out to meet your face and chest, and then not actually stop you flying forward but to decelerate you in a more controlled way. The airbag in the vid remained fully inflated for too long.
