“Is that your unbiased opinion? Damn, how much do I owe?!”

Consider it a free sample.

@Jay Dee Here, the impact speed was probably very close to the original speed. Look at the damage to that car! Seeing that you are about to crash at 94 MPH may allow you to slow to slightly over 90 before impact, whereas if you are driving at 25 MPH and see a car appear in front of you, you, you may be able to slow to 5 mph or even stop altogether.

Unbiased people are in short supply, so I imagine that it would be fairly expensive. Is that your unbiased opinion? Damn, how much do I owe?!

Ras: But a small fraction of the sums one expects to extract from Porsche. /snark

Is this an example of ‘reasonable doubt at a reasonable price’?

The speed at the moment of impact is seldom at the original speed. The driver recognizes the hazard and reduces throttle and/or steps on the brake pedal. While the original vehicle speed may have been 94 mph, the actual collision could have been 55 mph from reading the black box aboard the car. An actual collision speed of 55 mph is not really a survivable impact.

How much does an unbiased opinion cost?
