Anyone else watching? Was that perhaps the slowest and most dull witted 3 point turn you've ever seen?
For those that haven't seen it, Police BMW follows a van with no lights into a pub car park, van drives to the end of the car park and U-turns back out onto the main road. Police car stops and does a 3 point turn instead of either U-ing it, or, my personal favourite, turning DSC off and sliding it round, they get out onto the road and the van has made a clean getaway!
They normally seem to drive pretty briskly, but that was rubbish!

It is the same as one car travelling at 70.7mph hitting a stationary object. Kinetic energy due to inertia increases as the square of the speed, whereas having 2 cars obviously doubles it. Imagine driving at the legal motorway limit into a stationary car, and one of those cars being a Mini. >Shudder<
Is it? I thought that, for example, if two identical cars hit each other head on whilst both travelling at 50mph, it's the same as one of them hitting a solid object at 50mph.This is what I based that thinking on-
