There are passive systems for stopping runaway trucks
that consist of barrels of sand. They don't require any energy
to do their job. As with my brick wall example, they *get*
energy from the truck.

Yeah, but motorcycles take longer to stop than trucks, the
the "how to drive" manuals say so, RIGHT, muggle?
