Hmmm. Is that the "Littlefield Defense", or the "Marine Patrol Defense"?
I'm wondering just how responsive a media
is to "injury-accidents". (In a state dependant on out-of-staters). A kayaker was run over in the Moultonbourough area of Winnipesaukee in 2003. He was airlifted to Dartmouth/Hitchcock Hospital with "broken bones". I heard about it on WRKO-Boston, but heard nothing locally and no follow-ups at any media.

The word "collision" appears 19 times in this thread...and a videotaped collision has nothing to do with 45/25?
Videotaping "close-calls" is
nothing—finding a video of an actual crash is another.
I think it's instructive.
At what speed was the impact?
