These measurements are from the police accident report. To make sure I have stated them correctly here they are again.
POI = 31'S of RP 10'E of RP

Left-frt skid begins 28'N of RP 12.7" E of RP
Right-frt skid begins 10' N of RP 5'10" E of RP

Skid continues to points
Left-frt 42'S of RP 14'3" E of RP
Right-frt 42'S of RP 8'7" E of RP

Total length 69'10"

Vehicle was then DRIVIN to a complete stop at:
Left-frt 64'1" S of RP 9'1" E of RP
Right-rear 51'9" S of RP 11' E of RP

I had checked these numbers and noticed that the tire distance became smaller towards the end of the skid. And that was one of my concerns - is that possible?
Thank you for your help.
