USEFULNESS OF COMPARING IMPRINTS FOUND ON THE SHOES OF MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH VICTIMS WITH FOOT PEDALS AND FOOT CONTROLS MOUNTED IN THE CRASHED VEHICLE.
Abstract
SOME OF THE CONCLUSIONS WHICH CAN BE DRAWN FROM SUCH EXAMINATIONS AND COMPARISONS INCLUDE - (1) ACTION BEING TAKEN BY THE DRIVER AT THE TIME OF IMPACT, (2) DETERMINATION OF WHO WAS DRIVING IN CRASHES WITH TWO OR MORE OCCUPANTS IN A SINGLE VEHICLE, AND (3) DETERMINATION OF FINAL ACTIONS OF THE DRIVERS IN TWO-CAR COLLISIONS. SEVERAL CASES ARE CITED TO DEMONSTRATE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS TYPE OF INVESTIGATION. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
