Crash Day from the Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators

19 May 2022 | David Young

Thursday 9th June sees the return of the research day where you will be able to attend - for free - and view many staged crashes. There will also be a number of stands and some 'audience participation' events

Crash Day from the Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators

DATE: 09/06/2022

TIME: 09:00-17:00

The event moves this year to a new venue, Darley Moor, the configuration of which will ensure different impacts other than seen before.

The event is outdoors and will follow all appropriate Government guidelines and will only be cancelled if required under those guidelines.

As we get nearer more details of the day will be added to this description.

So, book early to avoid disappointment, as when capacity is reached, we will have to stop accepting bookings.

For a sample of what you might see, here is a high-speed video of a Vauxhall Vectra into X-Type Jaguar video: https://youtu.be/aVFJjT9JLu8
