You have been hired as an expert witness by an attorney CR for a trial involving a traffic accident. The attorney's client, the plaintiff in this case, was traveling eastbound toward an intersection at 13.0 m/s as measured just before the acci- dent by a roadside speed meter, and as seen by a trustworthy witness. As the plaintiff entered the intersection, his car was struck by a northbound driver, the defendant in this case, driving a car with identical mass to the plaintiff's. The vehicles stuck together after the collision and left parallel skid marks at an angle of 0 ured by accident investigators. The defendant is claiming that he was traveling within the 35-mi/h speed limit.
