Honestly Officer I was only doing 55 when I hit that car. You show up for your civil court date where you are being sued for inflicting whip lash on the person in the other vehicle. As the court case proceeds they bring in the Black Box from your totaled car and plug it into a PC and find out that you were actually doing 85 when you hit that car. Talk about being screwed.
Well it appears that car’s black boxes are making it to the Court Room. It won’t be long before you pull up to a police roadblock and they plug into your car download your violations and write you a fist full of citations on the spot. [USA Today]
