For those who believe car crashes are unavoidable, this book is sometimes just right and sometimes a little too factual. For those who are indestructible, and accident proof this book is useful to give to others, who you know are repeatedly accident prone. While the author believes that the future of this book is an App, he also believes autonomous cars/vehicles are a huge mistake. From his personal encounters, he sees the car or pickup as an extension of the freedoms Americans have, to move unrestricted from one point to another. While this view is largely an American phenomenon, due to vastness of the country, other peoples in other countries will appreciate the attention to detail on what evidence is usually not collected by the people in vehicle accidents, but could be if ONLY.The point of the book is- If you knew you were going to need a specific photograph of something at a crash scene you would take that photo or notes. The reason you don't get that photo is you will be confronted with Your Adrenaline Spike, Angry and Hurt other people, Police and First Responders. None of them care about the evidence you may need later; their concern is the NOW.There seems to be an undercurrent of distrust of the system of police and EMS's and insurance companies. The book takes on the role of Super-Fatherly advice, to ask the accident victim to be prepared for the worst in every situation. In places, the adversarial tone comes through loud and clear, especially to those who have witnessed errors and costly mistakes made by people in authority roles.This book may not make you happy, but you will laugh at the author making his own mistakes recording the events of his recent accidents. The illustration is all too clear, that even the author would be much better off with a hard copy guide than his brain's imperfect memory. And later, when you are encouraged to subscribe to the App (in Development), you may agree with the premise that billion-dollar companies will automatically lie, if they know you can't afford a top attorney firm to represent you. Then, the hammer falls, when you realize these billion-dollar companies really are going to make and put autonomous vehicles on the same street your tax dollars paid for, that these companies will not be financially viable if they pay for every error their computers and CEO's make. The author may be reaching with some of the futurists worries, but if he is not, then you will be glad for the book and the App.The book seems to be based upon fact. If you purchased the eBook, then it is easy to reference the material he sites and decide for yourself if his understanding is accurate. For purchasers of the paperback, your ability to easily link to references is as always clunky.
