My challenge to you

[Dave Lister]

Greetings.

 

Before I was teleported here, the Flower who infected Holly told me I needed to make a game/challenge. So if you want that hint from me, all you need to do is answer this lateral thinking question, a question that smeghead Rimmer was trying to answer when he was studying for his AstroNav exam. He called me insane when I gave the answer, until he looked in the back and found out I was right. He was even surprised when the Cat knew the answer as well.

How did me and the Cat know the answer? It was a fact we read about in a weird book I found in Petersen's quarters

 

So without further ado, here's the question

 

​It's 1971, a Swedish man drives into a tree, what caused the accident?

​(Nothing medical, nothing wrong with the car)

 

PM me your guesses, and if you get it right you get the hint.

You get one guess a day by the way.
