It is only when you suddenly a moose encounter, you get the benefit of the elk. Now is the chance that in the Netherlands, suddenly one crosses not so great, but in Sweden that is different.

Survives your car the elk, then you can with a ‘safe’ feeling a tug on the steering wheel, without that you run the risk of your car on its side. That way you can use moose or other suddenly looming objects to dodge. However, it is not for nothing that Volvo is working on a technique to such maneuvers autonomously to perform. It is sometimes wrong, as you can see in the video below.

Imagine that you are the poor animal aanrijdt, which is by the way not only for the moose end badly. Also the drivers in danger, because an average moose weighs between 320 and 800 kg, as much as a small car. In short: that you do not want on the hood or forward.
