When I was still with the State Patrol, the detectives would recover the black boxes out of wrecked cars and find out how fast you were really going and how hard you were braking... that was 19 years ago.Until they collaborate with insurance companies or even law law enforcement...
Now they can tell if you were texting at the moment of impact, which is good. But until we attach the same stigma to texting and driving as we do drunk driving, texters are going to continue killing peopleWhen I was still with the State Patrol, the detectives would recover the black boxes out of wrecked cars and find out how fast you were really going and how hard you were braking... that was 19 years ago.
