Looks like the sheriffs department investigating Tiger Woods crash has a search warrant for the Hyundai’s black box.

One thing the article talks about is the lack of skid marks. Someone should let the author know that since the advent of ABS and traction control as standard equipment on most cars in the last 20 years, you’ll likely never see skid marks on an accident scene again. Just because there’s no tire marks doesn’t mean he didn’t slam on the brakes and try to steer. That’s what the black box computer will show.

Gone are the days of locked up skid marks 50 feet before an accident scene.

With Tiger being worth something around $900m, a $35,000 SUV is probably not in his garage. He loses that amount of money in the cushions of his sofa in loose change every week :smiling1:

Thousands and thousands of drivers successfully negotiate that stretch of road daily. Is it dangerous? It can be, depending on how you drive. Can it be made safer? Yes, absolutely. To me the most glaring feature that is absent is the use of a center median and barrier to prevent traveling into the opposite direction of on-coming cars and head on collisions.

You must remember where this is. A very up-scale neighborhood where a functioning center median would look like the Berlin wall, and a pitchfork mob would spell the end of any councilman's career who promoted it's construction. Aesthetics and landscaping sometimes are more important than what can make something safe, depending on where you live.

There is a serious accident there on average once a month. But now that one involved Tiger Woods, perhaps the road will be made safer. My $.02.

I'm not blaming anyone or anything other than questionable driving by Tiger. Unless and until the car's black box data proves what happened, it just seems like he either wasn't paying attention or was under some kind of influence (which I doubt). Like you say, thousands of drivers successfully negotiate that stretch of road daily. If you just slow down and pay attention, there's no need for a divider.
