Cars & Transportation: Safety: “Question: Why would a head on collision in a car be so dangerous without crumple zones?” plus 3 more


Question: Why would a head on collision in a car be so dangerous without crumple zones?

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 02:18 AM PDT

A "crumple zone" at the front of the vehicle absorbs some of the force of the impact, reducing the potential for damage and injury to people in the passenger compartment. If the car didn't have a crumple zone, then the full force of the impact would be transferred directly to the driver and passengers, and the injuries could be much more severe.

Question: My 2005 Ford Taurus was hit on the driver side. The officer said the tire was pushed into the strut, is it safe to drive the car?

No!

It is very possible your suspension system and steering system has a major damage. Also, if any part of your tire is rubbing against anything else, it can tear and burst while you are in motion.

No, it is NOT safe. You should have someone qualified check your vehicle.

Question: Mossberg 535 not firing. It pumps but the action will not fire an the safety will not turn off of fire. Never had a problem before?

Question: How do you turn the traction control completely off?

Same question 2 years ago....

In order for your vehicle to have the Traction Control System your Avenger needs to be equipped with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), these two systems work together.

When ESP is in the Partial Off mode, the TCS portion of ESP, except for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section, has been disabled and the ESP/TCS Indicator Light will be illuminated.
