I do remember my A-level physics, however you are assuming that the driver won't be decelerating and that 100% of all the energy will be transferred (it won't).

Half m v squared
1/2 * mass * velocity squared.
This means for every single increase of speed the difference is squared massively increasing the kinetic energy carried by the moving vehicle. Yes it makes a fucking massive difference.
