How can I most efficiently launch myself through my car's windshield?

Question

One of the challenges in the Saintsbook is "Windshield Cannon" - I have to launch myself through the windshields of cars until I've met a certain distance requirement.

I can't seem to figure out what causes me to fly through the windshield though. I found a sports car and fully upgraded it, then sent it full bore into the side of a guard rail. I didn't fly out. However, on my way to reset, I accidentally hit a nearby electrical pole at a much lower speed and I went flying.

How can I guarantee I'll go flying? Is there any easy way to max out this challenge?

Answer

The trick to this seems to be to do it while playing Insurance Fraud, where everyone is driving faster and you have a much higher chance of flying through the windshield on impact:
