I would agree with the evidence being used only as part of a prosecution case for serious road offences.
Yes - the information obtained may be subject to variables, but with other information the prosecution would also use, witnesses, skid marks on road,the ammount of damage caused to each of the vehicles plus any other forensic evidence the police had at its disposal, would also be used to calculate the speed of the collision.
Someone has been severely injured, therefore in my book, any evidence that can be obtained to back up claims of excessive speed being a major factor or cause of an accident, and results in a conviction, can only be a good result.
