@yavuzkangal
one inch equals one foot, with the scale being 20:1, so the answer is 63.75 feet or 63 feet 9 inches, or 765 inches.
If you look at the diagram the questioning attorney displays, he is pointing to an distance from the L/H stop line to a line near the crosswalk to the left. There is no way that could be a 5 foot distance.

Are you the president, or an accident reconstruction engineer yourself?

Is this guy saying he can’t make 3/16ths a decimal value? Holy shit, and his job is basically physics!

I am sorry to say you are all wrong. 63.75 is in inches. Convert that to feet you get 5.31 feet . The answer is 5.31 ft. Not 68 feet, not 63.75 feet.

This is tragic and funny at the same time. I guess it’s called tragic comedy.

It was so funny watching what went through his head when he couldn’t divide using a calculator. The lawyer is excellent and I think he did a great job in questioning the guy. Great job!! I love to see that dumb look on the “experts” face. What a moron? I dont know about you, but as smart as he tried to make himself appear throught the whole video only made him look more stupid when he couldn’t awnser a decimal conversion. Isn’t that something you learn in 5th grade without a “formula sheet”? hah

3/16 means 3 divided by 16which equals .1875 and 3.1875 x 20 = 63.75 This guy is a friggin’ dumbass

The answer is not 68 feet I hope you all know that. Or is could be that it is correct and the ratio is not 20/1 but 21.222 to one.
most people today are plug and chug type people. Rarely do they know how the formula is derived. Does the check out clerk really know how the cash register works? Yet they are often quite good at what they do.
I was a physics major and I will tell you that most of the people that are DRs, etc do not know how any of the formulas are derived they just plug n chug.

This guy is not a good expert. A good expert would have his computer and formula sheets. I hope he was not paid big bucks.

my question is why doesn’t he have them with him if he is going to insist on having them in front of him.

The whole American Justice system is run like this. I deal with a Judge that reminds me of this guy.

dont you just divide one into the other to see what one inch on paper equals into feet on the road?

Such lack of intellectual curiosity is what is destroying this fucking planet. He should WANT to know how all this shit works, not be forced to…

Wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to hire a grade-schooler to do such math problems? They’d probably work for sneakers and peanuts – how much do they pay this “expert”?
And insurance companies deserve to be taken seriously?
Most people who profit from the insurance industry, starting from the top-down, deserve to go to jail for fraud.

Well, the point is, this guy who wants to testify about sophisticated physics problems doesn’t know how to do a 5th grade problem (8th grade was really generous). The lawyer is just amazed the guy can’t calculate the scale. I think he’s just trying to figure out what exactly the guy’s problem is.

It might also be that that is the entire problem–obviously 3 3/16 x 20 != 68 feet, so where the hell did the guy get 68 feet?! And why is it approximate?!

so if he had to double check his “formulas” he wouldn’t be able to do it using basic methods…amazing…the evils of calculators

An expert is someone who takes a subject you understand and makes it sound confusing

no he isn’t. he is just stupid. i mean a person working on this kind of job shpuld be a able to do solve it.

i really don’t get the point here because clearly that piece of paper is not a 1:20 scale so regardless of whether he knows how to divide 3/16 (.1875) and even multiply the total by 20, the answer will not be right since it’s NOT 1:20

The only thing necessary in order to enjoy this is a low IQ. LOL. LONG LIVE IGNORANCE…
