Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both technicians are correct. Crash event recordings, also known as black boxes or Event Data Recorders (EDRs), can provide information on the speed of the vehicle, whether the brakes were applied and ABS was engaged, how far the throttle was open and the rpm of the engine. They can also tell whether the seat belts were in use and the amount of change in velocity of the vehicle during the crash.
