I'm curious as to whether there's any kind of impact sensor in this package; it's interesting to me, insofar as I only have an estimate from an investigating LEO as to the speed of the truck that hit me in 07. I know that my smaller, lighter truck was stopped, but we could only estimate the speed that the heavier truck that hit me was travelling. Curiosity's sake, at this point, but I can imagine where the data would have been useful to the insurance company and the lawyers, as well as the police, if any citations were (or should have been) issued.
