OT: Why are 3 door cars allowed on the road?

Heavy thing hits light thing, heavy thing's speed is not altered much, simple.

Heavy things are usually large and I see them coming.

If we had both slammed on our brakes, we could have stopped easily before colliding at all, nevermind at a fatal speed.

He could just as easily have been ejected away from danger.

Yep, ejections from rolling trucks often have no danger associated with the event. All those nice soft places to land.

You probably blame him for choosing the rock.

You especially want this in the beat up nondescript white van with a stained mattress, blue or gold carpeting, maybe some 'ambiance' lights and a set of 'burglary' tools including duct tape, zip ties, cord and a sedative..

It's better spit protection than a cage.

Better to be out of the burning wreck.

Bullshit. Most deer weigh 45-180 kg. Most cars weigh around 1000 kg.

Momentum is used to determine the final velocity actually. mv = mv. Ten times the mass, ten times less change in velocity.

A vehicle the same size as mine is easy to spot. They don't jump through hedges like deer.

I swerve into his then.

No it isn't. You need to know the change in speed of the car. mv = mv

Then killfile me you idiot.

Put wheels on the couch.

Did they squeeze past the guys or go through a broken window?

I'm talking about people with enough brains to realise what things are so unlikely they're not worth worrying about.

Most people like to avoid crashing.

I've seen one do it when a stupid woman cut in front. Smoke everywhere and nearly folded the cab under the trailer. You'd be surprised how good their brakes are nowadays.

He didn't, he swerved thinking I was further away or his engine was more powerful and he had time to overtake. We both then had time to realise some avoidance was necessary.

I have seen many photos where you're just plain wrong, especially a grassy embankment you roll along, or flying into a river.

I looked it up.

At ten times the weight difference, the car hardly changes speed. And it was a fair sized adult stag I hit.

Exactly, which is the final velocity compared to your initial speed. If you slow by 5mph, who cares?

Easy to spot someone not in control.

What are you doing driving fast enough to be able to hit something round a blind corner?

On the contrary, I detest those who use language "correctly" instead of sensibly. It's 10 items or less ffs.

That depends how OCD the mechanic is.

Was the sentence too difficult for you? "No cars have" means there are no cars which match the rest of the sentence. "Absent central locking" means there is no central locking.
