i know he wasnt involved in the accident and was only a witness.
my point is..he inserted himself in this situation and made certain statements that will be questioned in a court of law.
oh and CandyFlip coming from you thats a compliment  |
Your reasoning makes no sense, DEA. I think you're implying that since I was over the speed limit at the time I witnessed an accident, it somehow creates a conflict of interest that would nullify the accuracy of my account.
That would be incorrect.
My estimate of speed wasn't based on opinion, it was based on science. If you're both here at one point:
|--------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------
And then a few seconds later you're here:
----------|----------------------------
And the other guy is here:
----------------------------------|----
And you look at your speedometer, and you're already well above the speed limit, that means the other guy is doing probably double your speed.
Now, maybe if my judgement was somehow affected... for instance, if I were drunk or high... then maybe the accuracy claim could be debated. But that's not what we're talking about. Trust me when I say I'm pretty good with speed estimates.
