In my first playthrough, I think I hit the Parking Lot five times lol. I've been messing around with a house-rule to get around that, though: If you choose to fail the Crash Test, you can roll 2d6 and choose the result. If you choose to fail the Authority test, you can choose which way to go without rolling.
I wanna mess around with it a bit more, maybe incorporate reducing Gear or something, but for right now I think it's an effective workaround.
