I don't know Alan, you've made my head hurt.
Just when I thought I'd grasped it, something occurred to me - If the car hits a stationary wall, the force applied is speed x mass. Simple. But if the wall was moving away at the time, surely the impact would be reduced, and would continue to reduce if the "moving away" speed of the wall is increased, until the impact force becomes zero when the walls speed matches the vehicle. Now would the impact force not increase if the wall moved towards the approaching vehicle?
I think my puny brain cell is not enough for me to grasp this, and it would be a case of "show me then I'll get it".
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

No...I was quite wrong about the impact speed being doubled...when infact that....the wall is solid...and has exactly the same effect as if it were two cars hitting each other head on.....because the cars are doing the same speed the impact is the same as hitting the wall...because the speed is cancelled out and the vehicles are coming to an abrupt dead halt....as if they had hit a wall.. 50mph -----/o miles per hour/-----50mph...same as a brick wall...from 50mph to 0mph in an instant...

I must admit I did think that but didn't want to say lol.
Mind you hitting a concrete wall would still be worse than hitting another car

Insurance company might disagree if the car you hit was a Bugatti Veyron.I must admit I did think that but didn't want to say lol.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Actually, no. The force of impact and energy involved would (in theory) be identical, hence consequent damage would be similar. Assuming the other car was indentical, moving at the same speed and hit exactly square on.Mind you hitting a concrete wall would still be worse than hitting another car
Mind you, there will be so many variables that a situation precisely like that will never occur.

Was referring to the fact that the cars will break apart as they're designed to do with crumple zones etc
