Car Wars 5th edition physics problem

I remember this being a serious problem in play-test, but I thought we fixed it?

In Classic, you break up the motion into alternating inches and it becomes very rare- the faster car has to *allow* the slower car to hit it, which is usually a bad idea so he doesn't.

If he does, the slower car usually has to do something really strange and silly to make the hit rear-end instead of T-bone or sideswipe, which is usually a bad idea so he doesn't either..
