OK another attempt to get the concept across....

It has been determined that FG GT falcons will stop from 100km/h in 40m

Two GT owners demonstrate how clever they are by driving at each other at 100km/h and then at 80m apart they brake coming to a halt with their noses 1mm apart.

Another FG GT owner has spoken to some people who may or may not understand dynamics and they all decide to demonstrate their understanding by driving at a brick wall at 200km/h braking at 80m because they believe that this is exactly the same as 2 GTs doing 100km/h.....relative speed and all that stuff.

GUESS WHAT HAPPENS..........

And after posting this metaphor I cannot believe I am going to say this but......

Thank you Wally
