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?

The individuals "supporting" Mr. Dobson pretty much make my case for me.
