Re: ?Black box in 2000 wrangler, 96 cherokee.
If he was going 55 "before he began passing the car" he probably was doing
71, that would be a reasonable and safe passing speed .... well assuming that the speed limit was not the 45 mph that it was.

Re: ?Black box in 2000 wrangler, 96 cherokee.
In one case I heard about, the subject was allegedly killed because his
airbag inflated improperly, failing to save him from the effects of a collision. It turned out from black box data that the car had actually been involved in two collisions, seconds apart, and that the airbag had properly deflated itself before the second, fatal one. In this case, black box data cleared the manufacturer of fault. Maybe if the subject had had his seatbelt fastened, it could have saved him, but as the black box data proved, there was nothing the manufacturer could have done, to improve the subject's chances of survival in this case. I am all for justice, but consider this. Who pays to put that black box in the car in the first place? (Customer does.) How do they legally get the customer to pay his own money to install a device whose main purpose seems to be to clear the manufacturer of liability in civil suits, and as a side benefit implicates the customer in criminal proceedings? The main argument for these things is that they "increase vehicle safety" but I don't yet see how they do that.
