Answers:
Have you ever shouted "Follow that car!" to a cabbie?
Yes, without a doubt.What year Kia Spectra cars have side airbags?
20 mph doesn't sound a lot, but compare it to normal walking speed. If you've ever backed into a stationary object, even at 5 mph, the jolt is large.
Can anyone teach me how to drive stick shift on their car?
If you're in a modern car with loads of airbags, and wearing your seatbelt, you are unlikely to die in a collision with a stationary object at 20 mph. If you don't wear a seatbelt, your head will continue travelling at 20 mph until it hits something hard.
Who can tell me how to get my town to repair the faded street signs?
I find it amazing that anyone would consider travelling in a car without a seatbelt on.
Well then woldn't this car burn faster in an accident?
Well if its head on with another car traveling at the same speed thats 40mph combined. And that can kill a person.If you have a blow out while traveling, how should you bring the vehicle to a stop?
yes.. you can die at five depending on what hits whereWhat are the safety tips in an autobody?
I don't have any figures to back this up but I would think it could, you never know about things. A jerk in a certain way can snap your neck, your head could be jammed into some sharp object in the car. Too many variables to figure, but yeah, I'm sure it COULD happen.yes it could. my friend had an accident at 15mph. He got t-boned. The car had no air bags he died before the cops got there.
Does driving on the wrong side of the road make the crash your fault?
Yes if the circumstances are right. The faster you go the more likely you'll get killed. I backed a car into a post once at about 2-3 MPH. I could not believe the jolt.Has anyone ever rented a car and taken it out of the state or country?
Dunno - try it and see.If you are lying down in the road and a car runs over you at 20 mph, then - without a doubt, yes.
What are some of the safety records with the Jeep Liberty?
Yes of course it can if you have a head on crash with an other car and it is doing 20 miles an hour that's a combined speed of 40 miles an hour.Does anyone drive or know someone who drives a fire truck or ambulance?
it all depends. head on collision, mabey, if you hit a tree or pole, you will prbably get injured. i dont think you would get killed thoThe best web site for getting off parking ticket?
Of course it can. You could get a metal spike through your head at walking speed and that would kill you.Hitting a solid object head-on at 20mph would probably squash you like a fly being hit by a newspaper.
Would recommend that you don't try it to see.
Why can't train stop immediately even if they already see somebody crossing?
most definately, suppose you get flipped and tossed out of your vehicle, or a slow speed roll over into a ditch filled with water and you can't escape. Even a seemingly minor cut can end up causing you to bleed to death if you can't get attention,NO WAY.

It can injure you but not kill you.

Yes.Left my viola in the boot of a taxi last night? Not sure what firm. Where do I start?!?
Its not the speed that kills, but the deceleration, which depends on the mass, the speed prior to impact, the mass of what you hit, and the speed prior to impact of what you hit, as well as the energy absorption characteristics of your car and whatever you hit.
Why isn't there a speed limit sign on Loving Field Road?
You also have to take account of any secondary impacts, and of whether or not you are correctly seated and restrained (i.e. belted).
Certainly can. Think how much damage you can do to yourself walking into a lamp-post at just 2mph.
Is it law that you can only be caught speeding in the lane next to or below the speeding device?
yep especially if you are standing between the car and the wall it collides withAre smoked tail lights street legal in New York state?
Yes you can be killed at that speed. If you are sitting in your car and are not moving and another car collides into you, that too can kill you. So the speed and object you are in becomes irrelevant really.More Questions & Answers ...
