A loose battery in a car represents real and significant danger.

there is more than one version of those Ladas.

Yes. As designed, and the banger you saw. If indeed you did see one
with no battery clamping.

It was hardly a banger. Not that facts worry you.

The lack of crumple zones, airbags or ABS and iffy cornering are
more serious risks of course. Funny how people get things out of
proportion.

Right. So let's just add yet another hazard. Very logical that.

That doesn't even make sense. You're in any crap you can throw mode now.

When someone is proved wrong then goes on to say 'and what about this'
(iffy cornering or whatever) it simply shows them up as a bad loser.

No vehicle is ever perfectly safe. But thinking it OK to allow something
silly like a battery which isn't secured is just plain nonsense. And that
was known long before ABS or crumple zones where thought of.
