Two pages in the International Guide Book for Traffic Accident Reconstruction have been amended. They are available in zip format from my site at http://www.angelfire.com/on/GuideBook/index.html. The zip file GB99 amends pages 75 and 76 of the book - Velocity at any distance in a skid and Velocity at any distance in an acceleration. Although the first formulae are right in both cases the secondary formulae are wrong. They should read V = SQR(Vo^2 - (2 x A x d)) and V = SQR(Vo^2 + (2 x A x d).

Aren't you glad this book is in binder format. My apologies for these two dumb errors.
