I haven’t done it, but a UK based auto show called Fifth Gear did. They bought two 10 year old cars, had them fitted with remote controls, and ran them at each other with each car doing 60mph.

I have extracted the relevant video so you can see the devastating results here. As noted in the video, a modern car would do better, but not enough to make a difference.

Keep this in mind the next time you’re racing down the street…

On a related note, here’s an interesting fact. If you were driving 50 km/h and came to a stop as fast as possible. Then place a pedestrian where your bumper is (i.e. just missing them). Now, begin stopping at exactly the same place with maximum force, but driving at 60 km/h (an increase of 10 km/h). How fast will you be going when you hit the pedestrian?

10 km/h?
15 km/h?
20 km/h?

Would you believe 35 km/h? Do the math and see for yourself…
