VW T-Roc has secured a full 5-star safety rating at the Euro NCAP, which is regarded as the toughest for assessing the safety aspects of a vehicle.
The VW T-Roc hits a parked truck on a highway and the visuals represent the whole story. VW is known for making products with high safety ratings since its inception. Being a German car marquee, safety is considered the most important to ply on the European roads which is why the Euro NCAP test requires a car to ace challenging tasks to secure a respectable score. However, it must be understood that these scores don’t matter much in high-speed scenarios. Let us check out what happens during such unfortunate events.

This incident becomes crucial in learning a few lessons for highway driving. Firstly, overspeeding continues to be the main factor involving such cases and must be avoided at all costs. This is especially true when you are travelling with your children and family, like in this case. Secondly, there must be strict action against truck drivers who park their trucks on the highways. Most of these trucks don’t have reflector lights or any other sign to make the other drivers on the road aware of their presence. That is precisely the reason for this incident too. Had there been some indication that a truck is parked on the highway, the driver of the T-Roc would have been able to adjust accordingly.
