Seems like if trying to measure, the observer's car might also play a role, and since it is so quick of an impulse, it would best be recorded for later review, and with a device with a rather quick response and no/little overshoot qualities.

1) as in overtaking a vehicle from the rear?
2) or a 'head-on' encounter?

In 2014, in Utah,near Monticello, on the way to DARKO, in a very strong crosswind, I encountered a cattle-hauler at 140-mph closing velocity, which destroyed the front, articulated, driver's side wheel skirt. This is the worst case I can remember, other than the remnant of Hurricane Katrina, which sucked the leeward side front skirt off the truck, east of Tucson, Arizona.
