An 80 MPH closing speed means both vehicles were traveling at 40 MPH. That's not all that fast. Colliding with another vehicle instead of an immovable object would lessen the impact due to the struct

Yes chances of death or serious injury are high. But way lower than an old clunker. Even a Cadillac or Buick. Huge mass can help, but also HURT you. There aren't crumple zones like newer cars have to

Yup, that steering wheel is a safety feature. One must engage the brain before engaging the clutch. What's scary is the feeling of invincibility many drivers get from all the "safety" features in mod

The combined speed difference is not the same as the impact speed against a solid object, that is half that: 40mph in this case. The standard impact test these days is around 40mph depending on the c
