Of course! I'd just try not to crash.
My old Volvo was built about 30 years before NCAP was even thought of and it doesn't bother me a bit.

NO. MY

yes, i just wouldn't go out my of my way to crash it.

Many people do: In the US, SUV's & pick up trucks are exempt from any crash testing that cars have to go through, so any that face a test like the NCAP rating tend to be horrifically dangerous in the event of an accident: Take a look at the Grand Voyager if you want a fright!


Pasta Humes
Yes, if its a Merc SLK or BMW M3

My car didn't have the test. So I assume I already drive a car with 2 stars or less.

I drive a motorbike so yes, it wouldn't bother me (no matter if it had no starts it would still be far safer).

If I had kids though, I might want something safer. I think it would depend on where they failed. The risks of having an accident are low and those safety tests are exhaustive so having 2 stars means it is probably still safe to drive.

Most cars people used to drive would not even get an ncap rating. Half of mine struggled to get an MOT. We drove them and are still here to tell the tale. Given the choice and the finances to exercise that choice, one might choose the safer car. That is not always an option.

If it was all that I could afford then yes..........
