[QUOTE="stevieb, post: 1277231, member: 10837"] Thanks for all your help. I was suspect of the speed being too great. By the way, car B was a 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage with four occupants and car A was a Pontiac Montana. What convolutes this incident is the Montana was his friends whose owner doesnt want to even notify his ins co (we all know the insurance goes with the car). I talked with car B's insurance co and told her of the skid length and she was not aware of that and agreed there may be a shared responsability. I am just worried that car B's insurance Co. may not be as favorable to my sons side, even with all the evidence. But I am convinced that 48' (yes I measured it and took pics that will be submitted) is excessive speed and this was the leading factor in the accident. I haved worked for a public transit agency for 20 years and have performed a lot of post accident mechanical inspections and braking efficiency testing. I dont remember the CVC section but a 40' bus must be able come to a stop in no more than 40' at 20 mph. In all my years I have never had one stop in more than 24'. So if a 35,000 lb. bus can do that a car shouldnt have any problem. Again, thanks for all your help. [/QUOTE]
