This book will lead to an understanding of accidens.

To drive a car certainly does not require strong physical qualities or difficult operations. Every driver, regardless of abilities, sharpness of sight in daylight or at night time and stability of his reactions, appraiseel or accentuations and distances, or capacity of diffusedattentions, has the libirty of driving comfortably with the speed of his vehicle with a good feeling of well being, impetient to escape finally from the great mass to find this again on crowded roads. A PARADOX. This leads to the tens of thousans of people killed, injured and maimed yearly on the roas and highways. The importance of thourghly understanding the circumstances of accidents cannot be overhamphsized. This book will lead to such an increased understanding. The author has presented and summarized the technical factors that come into play in the motion of road vehicles and their collision, with the ultimate purpose of deriving simple, but systematic methods for the reconstruction of accidents. The text covers theory of axial collisions, theretical foundations of right angled and oblique collisions, practical examples of automobile collisions, and the vehicle in motion prior to collision. Although the primary purpose of the book is to further the understanding of the causes of collisions and to simplify the reconstruction of specific types of accidents, it will also aid in the understanding of accident prevention. Automobile accident reconstructors, automobile engineers, police accident investigators, safety engineers, and other concerned with circumstances of road accidents will find this text to be of extreme importance.
