This example disables collisions for all vehicles within a certain radius of a player:

function disableVehicleCollisionsNearPlayer(thePlayer, maxDistance)
  local playerX, playerY, playerZ = getElementPosition(thePlayer)
  local vehicles = getElementsByType("vehicle")
  for k,v in ipairs(vehicles) do
    local vehicleX, vehicleY, vehicleZ = getElementPosition(v)
    -- get the distance between the player and the vehicle:
    local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(vehicleX, vehicleY, vehicleZ, playerX, playerY, playerZ)
    if (distance <= maxDistance) then
      -- disable collisions for the vehicle
      setElementCollisionsEnabled(v, false)
    end
  end
end
