Does a dent in your driver affect control or distance?

A dent in the driver will affect a pros game to some degree but for an amature golfer I dont think it would make a hill of beans difference.\n\nThe only real difference it could make to an amature is a phycologicle difference if anything. Dont run out and spend hundreds of dollars on a new driver.\n\nLeon

Oh man, I really hope that's not true. I drive an old '92, 2 door Toyota Tercel. It used to be red, but it's faded to a horrible pinkish colour, except for the front fender and drivers door, which are bright red from when someone backed into my car. The fenders over the tire wells are sanded down, b/c they were rusted, and now they're sprayed white, and have been that way for months. It chug-a-lugs its way up hills going about 30km/h, and frequently stalls, and sometimes refuses to shift into reverse, which is quite annoying. So I guess that would make me a run down, hunk of junk that has to stop and sit down every few km. Greaaaat. I feel so much better about myself now. lol.

I was driving in a car with my friend who was drunk and I knew he was driving to fast and that we would not have time to stop at a stop sign. He went right through the stop sign and we hit a tree straight on at about 50 mph. What was scary is that I saw this coming for at least 5 seconds.\nWe fortunately came out of this with only bruises and cuts.

Zero.  The whole point of active suspension is to anticipate bumps and dips at the incipient time that the wheels encounter them so that no disturbance is experienced by the passengers.  The "read ahead" of the road needs to take into account the vehicle speed and the response time of the system actuators so that the wheel is being pushed down at precisely the time it enters a pothole.  Otherwise, it's going to be like the hydraulic systems on some low-riders.  Similarly vehicle speed, actuator response time, and steering input need to be accounted for to preclude roll. (lateral rotation caused by centrifugal force.)

There is an easy answer to this question:\n\nGo get fit for a new 460 cc Titanium driver....you're guaranteed to get more distance with the new large clubheads!

It is your fault if you hit the car in front of you. Reguardless if the dude behind you "made" you hit the car ahead. That's why they say to keep a good distance from the car in front of you.

The "the complete physics of a car crash" would be a very long and complicated answer.\nHowever, the specific items you mention (crumple zone, safety belt, air bag) all serve a common purpose in the event of a crash...to lessen the force which is applied to the car/passengers/... at any given in the event off a crash.\n\nImagine you are in a car driving at 60 mph and you run into a solid brick wall.  One way or another, the car and its contents are going to stop.  The faster the stopping action happens, the larger the force acting on the car and the more harm can be done.  If the crash / stopping action occurs very quickly, the change in the overall object's momentum occurs very quickly and results in a large force.  But if you slow down the crash, even for a few fractions of a second, it can significantly reduce the instantaneous force acting on the object, even though the overall impulse applied to the object is the same.\n\nBy using crumple zone, the car "crumples" as it hits something, which slows down ow fast the car comes to a stop.  Using a safety belt and air bags work in a similar fashion to slow how fast a passenger comes to a stop by cushioning the impact.\nThe more effective "padding" is used, the smaller the force experienced by the object.  Think of it like an falling onto a concrete floor versus falling onto a pillow.  The pillow "gives" more on an impact whereas the concrete floor doesn’t move much at all and the impact happens very suddenly.  An eggs will almost certainly break if hitting a concrete floor, but stands a good change of survival if it falls onto a pillow thus illustrating the lessening of the instantaneous force acting on the object even though in both cases the result is the same...the egg comes to a stop.

Yes, I was running accross the street in a pouring rain. When a black car came out from behind a stationary object. They were about 30 feet away going 35 mph (that's what they told the police since that was the speed limit). I was right in front of the driver when I tried to stop and he tried to pull over to the curb as much as he could. As the car got closer, I thought about a lot of things. I was in my first year of marriage, my wife was 5 months pregnant. I finally just surrendered to the Lord's will. The car hit me with the front fender in my right leg. I flipped up in the air and landed in a 3-point stance, facing almost the opposite direction.\nNot only did I suirvive, but my leg wasn't broken either. It truly was the hand of God.Oh yes, by the time I landed, it had stopped raining! Now all of this happened in a fraction of a second!

At worst, it puts a dead stop to any further downslide.\nThink of it like an out-of-control truck being stopped by a massive roadblock.  There will still be an accident, but less damage than if you allowed that out-of-control truck to continue careening down the highway.

If I remember right you can try dropping it into boiling water (be careful) .. it will heat up the air inside, expanding it and possibly fixing the dent ... don't leave it in long and did I mention BE CAREFUL .. if you are not an adult please don't try it until you get some help !!

to many controls put on the drivers takes away from the ability to race. and can make for dangerous situations. like restricter plate races.  where bumpdrafting is needed to pass puts the drivers in a very dangerous position. and the wrecks can take out severval cars at one time.

I'm a J.D. and was similarly injured in an auto accident that caused numerous ruptured discs.  Though your injury is serious and your suffering severe, your recovery will depend on the amount of the negligent driver's auto-insurance coverage.  Most accident cases are settled out of court, with no fault insurance taking care of all medical bills up to a certain dollar amount, as much as $500,000, but that of course depends on the particular carrier and policy.  When people buy car insurance they do so in increments; in most states, 25/50 is the lowest possible amount of coverage a driver may have, meaning that if you are injured by that party, the maximum you will be able to recover from their insurance would be $50, 000.  If you are lucky, the other driver's coverage will be greater.  Of course, your recovery would be augmented by any personal recovery against the other driver.  Have you brought suit against the other driver?  If that is the case, as much as 5 years can pass before the case is finally resolved.  I couldn't see a jury coming back with more than a $100,000 verdict in your favor, and that's a stretch.  I truly empathize with you and wish you well in your future recovery as I know your struggles.

well u can look up driving statics on triple a website and go to any auto insurance website to help find data to support your answers

it will hit the back of  the car

Yes,but it's providing downforce to stick car to track better.The car is going to cut the air,and you sure don't want it to go under,then car would lift up and get airborn.

Yes, I was driving on the freeway in the winter and was doing about 25 and one car passed me (bad weather conditions) and while he was doing approximately 45 until I passed him later and he was off the road in a ditch. Under right conditions slower is faster.

Think of it like this-- what would hurt more: getting hit by a go kart at 10 miles per hour or a Mack Truck at 100 mph?  The 2nd would hurt more because there is a lot more Force (more mass in the truck and more acceleration from the impact.  Though the vehicles in my example are not accelerating your body would be because it would be going from zero to 10, or 100 mph instantly)
