Crash testing was held at 64km/h or approx. 40MPH.
Any hope of exporting this truck was shattered.

Spectacular truck crash at 11foot8 bridge
This is one of the more intense crashes of overheight vehicles at the
Gregson St Trestle I managed to capture on video. The truck came
hurtling at the bridge at maybe 40 to 45 MpH and was about a foot too
tall. The deceleration to zero MpH is intense. It took two hours to
peel the truck out from under the trestle.
Ford F150 and Honda Civic frontal crash test by IIHS
When large, truck-based SUVs collide with passenger cars or minivans, the results can be devastating for the occupants of the latter.
But fatalities in such accidents are on the decrease in the United States thanks to measures employed by automakers. Traffic deaths are down 64 percent since the year 2000 due to changes in automobile design such as lower bumpers for SUVs and better-protect cabin cells for passenger cars.
In 2000, the death rate for car and minivan passengers in collisions with trucks or SUVs was 44 deaths per million. That came down to 16 deaths per million by 2009.
The study was conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a private-sector group based in Arlington, Virginia.
"By working together, the automakers got life-saving changes done quickly," said Joe Nolan, the institute's chief administrative officer.

Melbourne Domain Tunnel truck and car crash
*** READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE COMMENTING *** This was a story on A Current Affair which was about dangerous driving. By coincidence the car that was fitted with cameras to demonstrate this was directly in front of an accident inside the Domain tunnel, so it was captured on video.
Watch the Mercedes move into the centre lane, out of view of the truck's mirrors as he indicates to change into the same lane. Once the truckie moves left a collision is inevitable.

FAQS/common comments
1. Australia is a RIGHT HAND drive country. There is a driver in the Merc, you're just looking on the wrong side.
2. Yes it's a perfect PIT. You're about the 100th person to make that joke. :)
3. The driver is a male, not a female.
4. The Merc does indicate for 3 "blinks" but because of frame cropping this is not visible in this version of the video.

Crash Test 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air VS. 2009 Chevrolet Malibu (Frontal Offset) IIHS 50th Anniversary
In the 50 years since US insurers organized the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, car crashworthiness has improved. Demonstrating this was a crash test conducted on Sept. 9 between a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu. In a real-world collision similar to this test, occupants of the new model would fare much better than in the vintage Chevy.
"It was night and day, the difference in occupant protection," says Institute president Adrian Lund. What this test shows is that automakers don't build cars like they used to. They build them better."
The crash test was conducted at an event to celebrate the contributions of auto insurers to highway safety progress over 50 years. Beginning with the Institute's 1959 founding, insurers have maintained the resolve, articulated in the 1950s, to "conduct, sponsor, and encourage programs designed to aid in the conservation and preservation of life and property from the hazards of highway accidents."
A decade after the Institute was founded, insurers directed this organization to begin collecting data on crashes and the cost of repairing vehicles damaged in crashes. To lead this work and the Institute's expanded research program, insurers named a new president, William Haddon Jr., who already was a pioneer in the field of highway safety. In welcoming Dr. Haddon, Thomas Morrill of State Farm said "the ability to bring unbiased scientific data to the table is extremely valuable." This scientific approach, ushered in by Dr. Haddon, is a hallmark of Institute work. It's why the Institute launched the Highway Loss Data Institute in 1972 — to collect and analyze insurance loss results to provide consumers with model-by-model comparisons.
Another Institute milestone was the 1992 opening of the Vehicle Research Center. Since then, the Institute has conducted much of the research that has contributed to safer vehicles on US roads. At the anniversary event, current Institute chairman Gregory Ostergren of American National Property and Casualty summed up a commitment to continue what fellow insurers began in 1959: "On this golden anniversary of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, we celebrate this organization's accomplishments toward safer drivers, vehicles, and roadways. We salute the vision of the Institute's founders and proudly continue their commitment to highway safety."
Heald Ltd 30 tonne truck Vehicle Barricade Road blocker HCR4M1200RB at MIRA FODEN impact test
http://www.heald.uk.com
-Tested at MIRA on Friday 20th March 2009 the Vehicle Barricade Road blocker attained the highest PAS68 specification currently available. The only Road blocker of its kind to have passed both PAS 68 (30 tonnes/ 50MPH) and also holds the US Department of State K12 certification.
The Vehicle Barricade withstood an impact with 4 times the energy of a standard K12 test, and took just over 1/4 second to stop a 30 tonne truck travelling at 50mph.
