Good point MRM. However, with anti-lock brakes these days, we see less skid marks in the Accident reconstruction business. Still see Yaw marks and these can be used to calculate speed. Back in the day, I had all these formulas programed in "Basic" on the cassette tape drive of my computer: a TI 99A.

Figuring speed from "Crush" is a whole new issue. No longer an exact science like tire marks were.
