ummm... if those skid marks are 50-60 feet long, can we safely assume that the gentleman walking in the background is about 12 feet tall? give me a ******* break. open YOUR eyes you condescending little turd. being the physics buff you are, you should have realized the scale of the photo before you posted your blabber. aren't you supposed to be well versed in the physics of optics? being a photographer, i know damn well that the line is not 50-60 feet long, especially with someone who is, as you say, about 6 feet tall in the back. the lens used to take this photo was probably about 35mm. if the gentleman in the back was 60feet away, there's no way in hell he would have been that big when the magnification for a 35mm lens is .7x life size. that means the farther they are away, the smaller and smaller they get, but at a rate .7x faster than with a normal 50mm lens.
and who the hell made you crime scene investigator with no knowledge of the angles of the photos and what kind of camera equipment was used? notice all crime scene investigators use a 50mm lens when they want to properly scale something, then wider and longer focal lengths as needed to show either environment or detail.

I don't care how hard you swerve a MP3 or MSP at "20 to 25mph", you WILL NOT lose control like that. I owned an MP3 and trust me, it would not lose control at that slow of a speed.
Open your eyes moron. think like an investigator for a second. Look at the road, look at the back ground scenery. You can see how curvy the road is and in the background you can even see how the road ahead makes a sharp turn around another corner. He was trying to be a rally car driver. He wasn't as good as he thought. And he and his car paid for it. Hopefully he learned a lesson. And thankfully there wasn't another lane where another driver could have been.
