2 words: emergency brake

Swerve suddenly as you pull the cable release that drops a 1968 Plymouth bumper out of your undercarriage.

That's called "failure to retain a decent lawyer" in the real world. Improper evasive maneuver is intended to apply when you run over a pedestrian while trying to dodge a squirrel, not when you stop short to avoid a hazard and some idiot runs into you because they were following too closely.

Yep; an associate once put a cruiser up under a pickup when he was working for a nearby department. He claimed the driver he was behind did it on purpose. Without any further investigaiton, the sheriff pretty much told him to shut up and use his time off to gain an understanding of the term "safe following distance," while the department paid for the damage.

Rusted out hole in the floorboard and some random road debris to drop through it is a bit more subtle.
