Of course if you don't want to hack the software to force-restore a visual in-car, you can feel free to run your car off the road while trying to read the info track display.
I had to slam my brakes tonight (didn't lock up or kick on ABS) to slow down and avoid smashing a raccoon, but it didn't have much to do with the empeg. Though I did think about it when it happened. "Mmmm, good thing I wasn't checking out the display just then..." :)
