So when you press e and the car is in motion you shouldn’t jump out, but release the wheel and stay on the seat, and now you are able to move around in the vehicle and only get hurt if you exit it. Also, you shouldn’t receive damage for going with less, than 1.

Agreed on both counts. Removing the damage at very low speeds (less than 1 mph) was easy enough, and has been in the dev version for a while. Letting you move around while in a vehicle… might be tricky.

That’s great. Can walking speed still kill you?

It was previously assuming a constant speed, that got fixed so it uses the actual speed now, so I think it does a minimal amount of damage at very low speeds.
