There is a lot of repetition and legal requirements in there.... But it is riddled with good information to learn.

For one, I learned that removing the HV battery access hatch is enough to disengage the HV systems. It must be designed to push down on a contactor when it's bolted into place.

After reading through that, it makes me not want to drive a hybrid (which I own) or an all electric vehicle... The slightest problem in an accident could case major problems if the first responders aren't properly trained in vehicle extrication on Hybrid/Electric vehicles... And it's highly likely in more rural areas that the training is not up to par. (My daughter is a licensed EMT and has never been trained on proper extrication procedures from an EV/Hybrid).

Especially in instances like the one below, I came up on this Sunday morning... Imagine the catastrophe if the car had been hybrid/electric and a fire started from an electrical short out, etc... This driver walked away with minor scratches, but she was very fortunate. I imagine most vehicles underneath a diesel aren't quite as fortunate. This vehicle was drug for a very long ways underneath the tanker as indicated by the black marks all over both lanes and the shoulder.
