How prevent the bike-car crash to avoid fatal accidents?
Some times the cyclist doesn’t respect the transit rules and one car got him with fatal consequences; other times is the car‘s driver that doesn’t respect the transit rules and killed or provokes serious injuries on the cyclist body making of him a disability person for ever. What can we do to prevent the bike-car crash to avoid death, injuries and huge costs for community or society? Thanks for your answers.

Obey traffic rules. Get acquainted with ordinances. Cyclists must follow the same rules as motorists.
Know your bike’s capabilities. Remember that bicycles differ from motor vehicles; they’re smaller and can’t move as fast. But, they can change direction more easily, stop faster and move through smaller spaces.
Ride in single file with traffic, not against it. Bicycling two abreast can be dangerous. Bicyclists should stay as far right on the pavement as possible, watching for opening car doors, sewer gratings, soft shoulders, broken glass and other debris. Remember to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Make safe turns and cross intersections with care. Signal turns half a block before the intersection, using the correct hand signals (left arm straight out for left turn; forearm up for right turn). When traffic is heavy and the cyclist has to turn left, it is best to dismount and walk the bicycle across both streets at the crosswalks.
Never hitch on cars. A sudden stop or turn could send the cyclist flying into the path of another vehicle.
Before riding into traffic: stop, look left, right, left again, and over your shoulder.
Always be seen. During the day, cyclists should wear bright clothing. Nighttime cycling is not advised, but if riding at night is necessary, retroreflective clothing, designed to bounce back motorists’ headlight beams, will make cyclists more visible.
Make sure the bicycle has the right safety equipment: a red rear reflector; a white front reflector; a red or colorless spoke reflector on the rear wheel; an amber or colorless reflector on the front wheel; pedal reflectors; a horn or bell; and a rear view mirror. A bright headlight is recommended for night riding.
Wear a helmet. Head injuries cause about 85 percent of all bicycling fatalities. The first body part to fly forward in a collision is usually the head, and with nothing but skin and bone to protect the brain from injury, the results can be disastrous.

What is the survival percentage of a 100mph car crash?
What is the survival percentage of a 100mph car crash in a MG ZR with no roof support. Being a passenger behind the drivers seat wearing a seat belt?
I can’t really elaborate much more than that except that the car spun out and hit a brick wall twice and a mud bound three times and the the handbrake being used in the middle of the car spinning out.
Just curious on what peoples guess is on the percentage of living is on a crash like that.

What is the easiest way to recreate a car crash in 3D software?
I love virtual car crashes, video games, anything. I don’t want a game, but a easy-to use software to create your own crashes in 3D. There is really only only two things I really want.
1. Body deformation
2. Any type of gravity
I am looking for something like Virtual Crash 2 but with deformation of the car. Thanks!
Please note I have 0 experience with Blender or 3Ds Max, but if those are the only options, I am looking for a really easy tutorial

Laura asks…
How much damage does a car crash make if both cars are around 40-50 mph?
I was wondering, there was a really bad accident where I live, the cars were totaled, and I am not sure about the condition of the people, but it made me aware of the danger and much more cautious when I am driving. Another question is, can anybody survive a car crash where a car around 65 mph crashes another car at the same speed. Is there any statistics or dummy crash tests? Thank you

A head-on accident at the speeds you are suggesting (a 80-130MPH impact), will likely end the lives of anyone in the vehicles. Unless of course, there were a miracle and that is what it would take…
