The dreaded moose test—which is getting much more severe by safety requirements. The test designed to simulate an evasive maneuver by swerving around an imaginary moose has seen many failures as of recent, but why is that?. That’s exactly what Car Nerd answers in this video, which explains exactly what factors are at play when it happens, and why the most famous brands are failing?

This is the moose test, and strangely many famous brands are failing it. Either rolling up on two wheels, spinning under steering straight on, or rolling over completely. it's a test that was made famous by technique, and vard a Swedish motoring magazine, and they have put hundreds of cars through the test to ensure that their handling is good enough to be safe on the road. now you would have thought that the grip and handling of cars was getting better not worse. so we have done some digging to find out exactly what's going on the moose

You’d think that as cars’ technology advanced over the years, so would their ability to maneuver the moose test. However, it’s not so cut and dry. For some background on the test, ideally, it’s performed on a dry surface with the car fully loaded with people and luggage to simulate a worst-case scenario. Most of the tests are done at speeds up to 60 to 80 kilometer per hour and while that may not sound like a lot, with the way the test is set up, the vehicles’ occupants can experience a significant amount of G-force.
