    Either my source is wrong or memory. What’s the equivalent speed for a civic going 60? Or the speed of a fully loaded truck vs a 30 civic?

      48 MPH for a 3.5k vehicle vs a 9k vehicle going 30mph. The math is simple. The 1/2 goes away and it’s v_2 = ((m_1*v_12)/m_2)^.5. Big trucks are dangerous but don’t believe everything you read.
