Based on what I've read on the "SMALL OVERLAP FRONTAL CRASH TESTS" for the US spec cars....... A NEWER recent car may do VERY WELL when tested against left side (driver side) small overlap frontal crash, but performed POORLY when tested on the right side (passenger side) due to differences in design (extra bracing put in place on the left side/driver's side). That's why currently there is a movement requiring all car manufacturers to beef up on the bracings for the right side/passenger side for the small overlap frontal crash.

So, if you get into a small overlap FRONTAL CRASH which side on YOUR RCF has the extra bracing???
