| Basically.
As for TK junk Mail, NO those black boxes are NOT used at trials. Please cite me proof where they have been? While they are used to recreate an accident (can tell speed and such) MANY older cars DO NOT have them.

Read this, they are used to reconstruct accidents, but are not a tell tale sign of everything that happened. Matter of fact THEY HAVE TO BE DISCLOSED in the owner manual and MANY states have made laws forbidding / limiting the use of their information in many cases. |

| EDR data has been accepted as evidence in some courts for both civil & criminal cases. And not in other courts - it depends on the jurisdiction. So my claim that the data is used is correct.

| Actually, it's been HIGHLY REGULATED by state laws. THE EDR only serves as ONE of many factors in recreating an accident. ANY CAR with an EDR HAS to disclose that to the owner. Last count 64 percent of cars have them, BUT here's the winner you missed. 36 percent don't and OWNERS HAVE A CHOICE to go with one lacking this unit. So yes, there's a BIG DIFFERENCE. Consumer choice. IE HAVING to OPT IN similar to this article VS being forced to "OPT OUT". SWISH. |
