The recorder captures about 5 seconds of data at the moment of the accident. 58 mph on icy roads. Breaks not pressed. Another poster pointed out that if the engine were revved the recorder would have recorded a false speed. The lady could have initially been going below the speed limit.
Have you driven on icy roads before? You can start a sideways skid and correct by accelerating a little and turning your wheels in the direction of the skid.
In the above case, you don't touch the breaks.
Sounds like this lady did the correct thing but was perhaps too close to the thing she hit.
Regardless, it is extremely dangerous to turn justice over to a machine.
Thanks for the penetrating questions.
I have thought enough about this to form an opinion.
This really is a "constitutional site".
You turn enough house-apes loose with online computers and the goofiest silliness occurs.
Kinda like an enormous "open-air-asylum".
Guys come out of the woodwork swatting at imaginary flies and asking goofy questions in third grade broken English filled with misspellings.
It's kinda fun.
