  • But… it does have crumple zones.

    The entire front and rear castings are designed to shatter in a high energy collision and crumple.

    The size of a crumple zone isn’t as important as how it absorbs the energy and dispenses it.

    You could have a 20foot crumple zone that’s empty and it’s be useless.

    You can see it crumpled here. They’ve also posted a different video on the official X account of a crash test but I won’t post that to avoid linking them. here.

    Since you got something so utterly basic wrong and posted it as true, I can only assume the entire post is fabricated.

    Edit: took a screen shot instead of video. It crumples all the way past the front wheels


  • That’s what you need distress codes for.

    Destruction of evidence is a much different crime.

    I would suspect it’d no longer be legal to hold them indefinitely and instead at best get the max prison sentence for that crime instead.

    A us law website says that’s no more than 20y as the absolute max, and getting max would probably be hard if they don’t have anything else on you.

    You’d have to weigh that against what’s on the device.

    Also, even better if the distress code nukes the bad content, and then has a real 2nd profile that looks real, which makes it even harder to prove you used a distress code.












  • The idea of don’t swerve for deer is very common and is taught in driving schools. If you’ve never heard it until today, well you were let down and today you learn. You don’t know dismiss it because you haven’t heard it.

    Swerving is dangerous and even if you think you can do it safely, having a deer appear while travelling at high speeds is risky, even more so at night.

    You’re supposed to slow down but stay in lane.

    The reason you’re supposed to swerve for things like Moose is because moose are big as fuck and tall, and if you hit one head on, you will cut the legs out from under it, and it’s massive body will roll through the windshield and crush you, killing you or causing massive bodily harm.

    This is from the Virginia DMV for example (emphasis mine). Them not having something about moose is actually bad as well.

    Deer/Large Animal Hazards Tens of thousands of crashes with deer, elk, and bears take place in Virginia each year, resulting in fatalities, injuries and costly vehicle damage. To avoid hitting a deer or other large animal:

    • Be alert at dusk and dawn especially in the fall.
    • Slow down if you see a large animal near or crossing the road. Large animals frequently travel in groups; there are likely others nearby.
    • Use the horn to scare the animal away.
    • If a collision with a deer or other animal is unavoidable, do not swerve. Brake firmly, stay in your lane, and come to a controlled stop.
