Joe puts the pedal to the metal. The tyres of the VW Passat search in vain for grip and scrape across the asphalt. The moose is already waiting at the other end of the lane. Joe is a pro, he is relentless in his pursuit. At the last second, he yanks the wheel to the left. The fully loaded wheel carrier at the rear clings desperately to the trailer coupling - and stops. 15 times in total this thrill is repeated. Ten towbar carriers and five roof racks have to prove at an airport near Offenburg that they pose no danger to the occupants or road traffic in an emergency. The good news: all test candidates survive the swerve test at 60 km/h and the emergency braking from 80 km/h without any problems.
