Collisions (4th edition)

[Darth Diablo]

Hi everyone.
Im a newbie here, its my first thread so please bear with me.
Im having a heck of a time figuring out the collision rules in Car Wars.
In particular, REAR end collisions.

The way its written looks like it could be translated in more than one way, and add DM snd TST (temporary speed, what?)

Id like to think im above average in the intelligence dept, but can anyone walk me through this?

My playtest has been on hold for 2 days until I finally broke down and registered here to ask the pros.
I can explain more in detail once this discussion (hopefully) ramps up.

Thanks in advance, Been a big fan of SJGs games since the mid 80s, but was too young to comprehend the rules (kinda like right now, except now im 41, Lol

Thx in advance!
