Let me know if you ever see any trees, telephone poles, or bridge supports
going faster than 0 MPH. ;-)

How about giving it another shot.  Here's a concrete example:  Which is

highways.  Most people don't realize how dangerous they can be when
hitting
them at Interstate speeds.)

Now I understand you Richard - but you're not understanding me. Let ME
try again:

The problem isn't the difference in the speeds of the two cars. The
problem is the difference in speed between your car going 20 OR 60 mph
and the moose doing ZERO MPH.

The DIFFERENCE in speed kills - but you have to be measuring the two
objects involved in the wreck!!!
