Actually energy or momuntum = mass * velocity SQUARED.

Just like in ballistics... and that is what a car is. When you double the speed you quadruple the momentum. When you double the mass, you double the momentum.

I agree: it's the drivers, not the vehicles.

Put some of these idiots in an Abrahms tank, and they could lose control and flip it.

My Dad was a trucker, and he taught me to drive - like a trucker. The Air force taught me to fly, and also taught me to apply those skills to driving. So now, I guess I drive like a jet trucker.

That doesn't mean I drive supersonic. It means I drive WAY ahead of my vehicle. I constantly pick escape paths and actions to handle "what ifs" and "oh sheets".

And I dearly love my Durango.
