Abstract

This article describes how accident reconstructionist believe that eye witness accounts of distance estimates in a crash are usually wrong because the eye witness finds it hard to estimate separation distances. The article focuses on the accuracy of using eye witness and driver estimates of distance using car lengths to conduct accident reconstruction or predicting a driver's behavior prior to a crash.
