Pushing cars sideways is either worse or easier depending on traction, on tarmac? I don't know. Drawing on personal experience again, I've actually tried pushing a car like this on three occasions, one was on tarmac, with the aid of my brother and a car jack, we barely moved it 2' in the space of an hour or so.lovec1990 wrote:ok we agree on overturning cars what about pushing them sideways?
I have actually pushed a car with seized brakes (I was trying to unseize the brakes at the request of my brother), I moved it about 8-12 inches unaided in one big crushing shove with my legs, but I was not expecting that to happen, and in hindsight, it was because of a dirty dusty wooden floor, over a shallow inspection pit, and I was in a position to really leverage my legs into it without risking hurting myself, but then I had nothing else to push against, the edge of the pit wasn't where it needed to be for my to put my feet on something solid, so it's not like pushing a car around on a flat road basically. I've also pushed the back end of a car round 90 degrees unaided, which was on gravel, again acting as a lubricant of sorts, and I had some help bouncing it on the suspension springs. I can't imagine what a 350lbs chimp could do, but I'd imagine that would be more than possible even on tarmac, still not going to be a pushover though, if you pardon the pun .
