TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - How accurate are witness distance estimates given in car lengths? JO - Collision: the international compendium for crash research A1 - Rose, Nathan A1 - Carter, Neal A1 - Kreisher, John A1 - Randolph, Martin A1 - Neal, william A1 - Danaher, David SP - 74 EP - 86 VL - 11 IS - 1 N2 - 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.
