It’s funny, I was going to say “did you mean Bernoulli’s principle?”
I mean, I can infer the intended joke, but “Pauli exclusion” doesn’t land for me because it’s not really about things occupying the same position, and I couldn’t see how there’s a joke about the two vehicles having the same spin.

The car itself looks chagrined when its grille falls off. Makes me think of the old Donald Norman book “Turn Signals are the Facial Expressions of Automobiles”

The real problem here is passing when you can’t see if the road is clear.

It’s a good thing Bernoulli didn’t apply here; things could have sped up in a disastrous
way.
