phipck Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 i think he got that one wrong, its not equivelant to two cars going head on at 120 miles an hour, its equivelent to 2 cars at 60 miles an hour or one at 120 hitting a wall!

Guess he forgot to say "combined speed of 120 mph". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaky Roadster Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Physics FAIL ! Trouble is that the national speed limit on single carriageways is 60 MPH, so the equivalent crash can happen anytime whilst both drivers are observing the speed limit. Although one numpty must be overtaking blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although one numpty must be overtaking blind. It switched from the original scenario he described, which was the probable head-on collision at a combined speed of 120 mph, to a single vehicle hitting a wall at 120 mph. The former is more likely to occur, but the result is not represented by the latter as it doesn't take into account the two crumple zones and freedom movement that two vehicles would have. Anyway, if you do feel the need to do 120 mph, try not to drive head on into an immoveable test wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
