Nor do they only hit half the truck on that immoveable object, I don't see
how they come up with these tests, they give no real information for you
to use maybe if the test was rearending another vehicle at 40 mph, or
hitting another vehicle headon when both are going 40 or 50 mph, then
you'd have something to go by....
