true enuff.  but i can't imagine that it would be
off as much as it was unless he was rolling on
24" spinners...

dunno.  if the thing is inertial, then it should
only measure decel when the car is in between
gears, or if he's fighting for traction, and
feathering the loud pedal.  for the most part,
the numbers should be increasing.  while watching
the video, tho, the numbers are all over the
place.  if the car was actually accelerating and
decellerating like that, he'd be in deep shit.

hmmm.  maybe if we count how many seconds it
takes to pass the light standards, and then
estimate the distance between them, we might be
able to work out some idea of how fast he was
going at a particular point while approaching the
bridge...
