So you're conceding that she wasn't driving Herbie then???? Yes I can assume a great many things since the two cars started off stationary, side by side, and they ended up 20-30 feet away from each other, with her car behind his. Now are you saying that it is possible for an old POS Honda to accelerate to 60 MPH (in reverse), and then decelerate to 0 MPH in the span of 30 feet???? With that amount of G's she'd have flown through the windshield. Who's delusional???? What's more plausible, that she has 5,000 horsepower and unlimited traction, or that she maybe got to 5 or so MPH in reverse while backing away from the guy waiving a gun at her??? I know very little about Dumanis and certainly don't worship her. But I do have a policy against arming morons, you arm one and you've got to arm them all.

No one suggested that a car must reach 60 MPH in order for it to be a deadly weapon. Apparently libertines love to put up strawmen. I am not sure why.

And you apparently can't answer any questions. Occam's Razor, all things being equal what is more plausible, that her car, given the very short amount of space, reached a very low rate of speed, or was able to come to a "life-threatening" speed??? And just what speed did she need to attain in order to become a "deadly weapon"????? Air bags don't deploy until about a 30 MPH impact.

Wouldn’t there be significant damage to the cars if you were correct? Wouldn’t the damage at least be visible?
