Playing chicken on Hwy 130

I may be entirely wrong, as my physics knowledge was never the best, but I would think the immobile car would absorb more force than the moving car. There are no doubt formulas for that to be found. Clearly though, the guy doesn't want to hit you, and would swerve in that scenario. The problem with stopping dead in the road is someone comes along and rear ends you, not expecting a car stopped in the highway -- at least turn on the hazard lights then.
