make sure you don tpay for anything. I hope you have good INS. I got a rental for 3 weeks money for most of the mods I didnt sell. My car w/out the mods was only worth about $5000. I got 6.5k plus I got to take parts and made another 1.5k so I came out on top. Dont get impatient. Whos your INS?

I find it hard to believe that they can determine your speed on that road within 3 mph.

Default Re: Running a red light is a serious offense, but difficult to prove

hey thanks for the nice words... Fortunately both witnesses stated that they saw the other driver run the light. I need to talk to someone more indepth about what specifically the law here states in regards to the accident.

Default 1. What is the coeficcient of friction for that surface?

2. What is the coeeficient of friction for *your* tires?


3. What is the mass of your vehicle?


Without those three *specific* to this case bits of info, your speed is a WAG.

Default I didn't have comprehensive insurance on the car b/c i just sold my A8..

literally sold my A8 and was now driving my A4. The coefficient of friction has to be ridiculously low, look at the crap on the road and the skid marks show that there wasn't solid contact with the road.

Default WAG ?

You are totally correct. And he should fight the speeding citation because it is impossible to prove.
I am just trying to figure out the acronym.

Hope everything works out in the end. Glad to see you are ok.
