Yeah, saw it - but as you said, still not enough info, and it doesn't change my answer.

Assuming your distance is correct, "quick acceleration" for most vehicle in low gear, including reverse, could peak out at 0.4-0.5g. Being generous and assuming 0.5g over 10 feet will give a maximum...

Stabbings give rise to relatively low-velocity spray. That spray may have initially been directed upwards or laterally, but its parabolic path could easily have arced downwards by the time it...

For the following, I assume you mean 17.5 m (you didn't specify).

Additional skid distance:
V^2 = Vo^2 + to a S
so, S = (V^2 - Vo^2) / (2 a)
Where V, final speed, is zero, and Vo, initial...

Only if you consider such things as "truth" and "justice" to be community benefits... :)

I should have been more specific - you didn't get my drift. I said:



That doesn't mean dollar damage, or even the apparent degree of damage, but rather the severity of the impact indicated by...

Actually, the best evidence in evaluating these "who hit who first" scenarios is vehicle damage. This is a type of investigation we've done many times.

The short answer is, the damages to the...

Sort of, sometimes - but generally no. If you're examining the mark very shortly after an event, you might pick up little rubber nubs (I've heard them called "tire boogers") at the ends of the mark...

I have to say, most of the insurance companies I do work for (and that includes most of all the big names) don't generally go into claims saying "How can we deny coverage?", they go into them asking...

"Ambiguity = profundity"? :)

Good one! ;)

Speed (unless you're moving at the speed of light) is always relative. If you don't specify a frame of reference, one is assumed. Normally, the assumed frame of reference is the earth. That being...

I agree - it's not as "deep" a question as people make it out to be. What's a "sound"? Is it the pressure wave, or is it the psychological phenomenon of it being processed by a brain? If it's the...

The insurance company will pay if they are legally obligated to do so - and only then. Depending on your local statutes the boyfriend's having allowed her to drive might extend coverage to her, in...

And I vehemently disagree with two of your points.

1) You should not be expected to maintain an open mind towards things that have been shown, time and time again, to be wrong. We as a society...

Exactly right.



Me too, but that doesn't constitute rigorous proof.



Again, quite right. However, if someone tells you that their mind cannot be changed, or their conduct is such that...

Thank you, you beat me to it!

There are some opinions for which I feel no respect. I gave you one example; I can come up with many more. In general, they're opinions that are either a) unfounded, b) poorly examined, or c)...

Don't know what else to suggest - you have my sympathy. I have a boy the same age and would hate to see something like that happening. Keep pestering the doctors!

The automatic assumption seems to be that ALL points of view automatically deserve respect. That's not the case. Do YOU respect the point of view of, e.g. suicide bombers? I don't. We no longer...

Unless your well is artesian, it has a pump, which needs that 220V electrical service. Get your local "dial before you dig" guys to trace out all your services for you. It may even be free if you...

Our kids' nighttime ritual includes milk before bed - does yours? She may be lactose intolerant. I'm lactose intolerant, and my degree of lactose intolerance seems to go up and down, sometimes...

Considering there's absolutely no evidence they exist, I feel pretty safe in saying NO, they CAN'T "jump from house to house". Sheesh. Get a grip on reality.

And don't answer with any anecdotal...

Depends on the bones, but I'd say, either a death occurred, or you have someone who's going to be eating through a straw for the rest of his/her life...

It depends, but in the best case, one could obtain overall track width as well as number and spacing of tread blocks. Overall track width is a function of the vehicle geometry, and pretty difficult...
