Not the first, certainly won't be the last

My congratulations go to the Florida Highway Patrol on their excellent accident investigation technique. From the list of car, tree, fire hydrant and Tiger Woods, all they can come up with is this, Woods was to blame!

Still it is easier said than done in such delicate matters. I once dealt with a very late night road accident. Two young women were in a car that collided with a car driven by an elderly woman. Two male pedestrians gave me excellent accounts of how they observed the elderly woman cause the accident. We all went to court and remembering that this was pre-advance disclosure days, the defence produced several more witnesses who recalled how the two pedestrians quickly got out of the car after the accident…. and how they were both married to women who weren’t anywhere to be seen! Tangled webs indeed.
