collies are a very specialist breed and one who has such a fixation issue needs more than general advice

I know this is not the proper way to use them but have you tried a Clicker?

Try an empty water bottle with a few small stones in it. As soon as she looks at a car in the 'wrong' way shake the bottle and get her attention that way.

I hope it helps.

Takes a little effort but we've had good success using the technique with a number of diiferent dog breeds...

I wish you luck - I had a dog who chased mopeds. We never quite cured him of that.
