What happens if you disconnect while inside a vehicle?

Hi there, just a quick question.

If you reconnect after disconnecting while in a vehicle seat, where do you spawn?

What happens if the vehicle is moved or if it is destroyed?

You spawn just outside the vehicle, whether it's there or not.

You will spawn where the server last saved you.

Your vehicle will spawn where the server last saved your vehicle.

If you're lucky, these two spots will be close together.

The safest thing to do is learn when the scheduled restarts are on your server of choice and remember to leave the vehicle, save it and wait for the restart before moving on.

Unfortunately there's another possible outcome: if you login in the same location as the vehicle, you can potentially spawn inside the vehicle and you will instantly die.

My advice if you disconenct while inside a vehicle: login on a different server and move ~10 meters away perpendicular to your direction of travel. Then return to the original server.
