Re: [DML] crash tests / safety

I disagree on this. 2 cars traveling at 40mph hit each other would be  
an impact of 80mph because they are both moving at 40mph.
  I had a friend killed on a 55mph impact, he drove under a straight  
truck traveling at 55mph. The police officer said the impact was  
around 110mph with both vehicles traveling at 55mph.
