@webcomment8895 Low speed impact, vehicle was stopped so the airbags did not go off. Airbags are not made by Tesla, they contract the entire airbag and controller out to a specialist supplier, like Bosch, so use the standard deployment impact forces. You had the impact cause injury, but the primary restraint system (seatbelt) did prevent him getting serious injury, and the passive safety systems (crumple zones) absorbed the majority of the impact as well. If the airbags went off for every similar energy event, you would find them going off on things like hitting a kerb, braking hard, hitting a speed bump over the listed speed, or even a shopping trolley hitting the front.
Would you like to have your airbags deploy like that old meme of the car honking at an old lady crossing slowly, and then she hit the front of the vehicle with her handbag, triggering the airbags?

Yes send the repair bill to their insurer, and file a police report for malicious damage to property, and as the damage will definitely exceed the criminal threshold the company will be both paying for the damage, and also be sitting in front of a magistrate or judge to explain, with full video as well, exactly why they should not be found guilty, and have to pay. Accident would be if he was doing the entire road, but this is deliberate aiming, and also shows intent, in that it was done separately from any other work, and was also done by trespassing into the yard as well, off the mandated road clearing only.

@1dariansdad Get a lawyer, they put a motion before a judge for cellphone location and metadata (remember this is not classed as personally protected data specifically by the US Supreme court, as it is classed as data used by the phone companies internally for billing purposes, so is not protected speech) which will give them all the details for that day. Then at endpoints and traffic cameras simply request footage, and see the renter was driving. Then the civil case goes ahead, plus the renter now also has, after losing the civil case, now additional charges of making false statements to the police, plus insurance fraud, and a few others that can be tacked on. then will also have to pat for the damage to the rental truck, plus the replacement of the other 2 vehicles written off by the renters negligence. That rollover definitely had injuries, you do not walk away from that unscathed, you will have bruises, torn muscles, and back and neck damage as well, just not fatal.

@bogglesbiggins1101 Because cops will not bother, and the bike generally is a lot faster than a police car, plus can go through gaps as well that the car cannot easily follow. however the rider probably uses that route often, and it is easy to run a DMV check on all bikes that model and colour in the area, and then see which owners fit the age range of the rider, and then simply go to the registered address, and view the bike. No plate, tow it away, and illegal size the same. But not going to be done, because that takes 3 things the police do not have, ground work, thinking ability (police do not hire intelligent people as basic officers deliberately) and also wanting to be proactive about crime.

Yes, impact hard enough to trigger restraint systems, not the airbags, as the system is smart enough to detect the collision angle and direction, so merely fired seat belt tensioners on the occupied seat to keep the driver from flailing around the interior, and then also commanded the ECU to shut off fuel and disable the engine, plus also automatically unlocked all doors as well. So the driver can still turn off the car, and start it again, though there will be a big warning about safety systems faulty, and that service is required, along with a warning about limited performance mode being enabled. Bosch is clever that way.

Varies from state to state, many do not even require a roadworthy when buying a vehicle, or even an annual check for fitness to operate. Also varies from country to country as well, many do not require insurance, and then the insurance you claim from your insurance, they pay out then claim back from the other motorist's insurance, or from the other motorist themselves. Really only in the USA is uninsured other party insurance a thing. Here by me all policies come with a high coverage for other party damage, which will cover the damage in most cases, unless you hit a supercar, or total 3 Teslas in a single accident, where you are completely at fault.

No manufacturer will put a full size spare in the back, if there is anything there it is a skinny temporary use one, or a pump and a can of fix a flat. Lighter, so that they can meet that EPA mandated mass and then also save an extra 0.001MPG on fuel use, or in this case an extra mile of range on test track cycle.
My car has a full size spare, and my sister got a full size spare for her car as well, as it came with a well for one, just had in it a styrene dummy inner with the jack, spanner and pump, but no spare, cut to reduce mass and cost of manufacture. spare fitted perfectly, and even the dummy fitted in the rear of the tyre. Came in handy when she found one of the myriad potholes that make driving akin to dodgem cars. So thankful my wheels are actually 70 profile, not the more common 50 or less profile, which are basically painted on rubber, and which cause the rim to crack or buckle, and the tyre itself to be destroyed.

@shimoncohen95 Guy bought a brand new Carrera 4S, and had it totalled, with under 1000km on the clock, in less than a week. Bent like a banana, after being hit on the driver door, and sent 50m down the cross street. He walked away uninjured, and that door was still capable of closing and latching. But written off, more for the chassis being bent badly around the core, and the 14 airbags having gone off to protect him. Would guess he immediately went back and got another one the next day, or at least ordered one. The Fiat Uno that hit him was crushed all the way back to the firewall, engine and gearbox did the impact absorption and folded under the vehicle.

Landscape truck hitch not connected correctly, and they never bothered to put the safety chains on. So while towing it came loose, and when it hit the median likely a can of gas, very likely loose in the back of the trailer, because they had just filled the plastic can, or had filled the grass cutting equipment, came flying forward, and ruptured on impact with either garden tools, or the front of the vehicle. liquid poured out the side, and was lit by the sparks of the side metal scraping on the concrete barrier. You can see from the smoke and the darkish flame, this was 2 stroke fuel mix, the oil only partly burning as it was dripping out of the bottom and sides of the trailer. If it was like any landscaper, the fuel was in a plastic 25 liter container, probably with no lid, as that had long ago been lost, and the fuel had made the plastic yellow and brittle with time.

Driving instructor, with lots of hand waving, in typical italian style "See, this is why we drive carefully in the rain, and also, remember that the Beyershe Mist Wagen always has an idiot behind the wheel, so be careful around them", followed by him getting on the phone, and telling the school they need both a tow truck, and another car to pick them up and take to the hospital, because his hand is injured from all the waving. Plus spilled his coffee.

Yes time for Chloe to get a lawyer, and sue the renter for all the damages, plus the cost of the loss of vehicle. The renter can claim somebody stole the truck, but as they were the negligent party in claiming they left it with keys in it, and a quick subpoena for the location of the renters phone location logs will very likely show both active calls and data use, plus also that the location of the phone corresponded with the freeway route at that time as well. Then they can also face the added charges of lying under oath, making a false police report, and insurance fraud as well. Pay the damages plus all legal costs, just needs a phone number, a semi decent lawyer and a subpoena to the phone provider for the metadata for that time period. All the data will be handed over immediately, and will show that the renter was driving, or at least their phone was in the vehicle, and was actively being used, and any calls made or received (the likely cause of the lane departure) can easily be traced back to them as well. Do not think family and friends will want to lie when the result is a 6 month prison sentence.

@TrekkerMoto Mercury switches are long gone from SRS modules, they all use MEMS sensors these days, which are both very reliable, very fast and also position insensitive, so will not give a false output if upside down. The controllers are also permanently powered direct from the battery, so will delay for a few seconds on power being connected for self test, and if upside down will just set a fault code, for the sensors being in incorrect orientation. Central module and then possibly others in crumple zones to provide info on rates of crumple, so the main module can determine impact force and direction, and thus which airbag outputs are going to be fired. Also seat occupancy detectors, so that only the driver and passengers actually in the vehicle are protected, and the others are not fired unless needed.
