Question presented

Cana driver of a motor vehicle on a major highway at a speed of 50 mph, in the extreme fast lane with traffic, suddenly come to an immediate stop without any warning or signal that he is going to stop? Can a driver of a motor vehicle involved in an accident, leave the scene of an accident before the police, and the ambulance arrive? Was the police report of the accident a correct report? Can a state trooper ignore the fact that the accident did not happen at the location where the damaged vehicles were standing, and when told that it was at another location, make a wrong entry of the location, and not seeing any debris from the accident at this location make an incorrect entry? Can an experienced driver of a Taxi with 40 years' experience, willfully crash into the rear of another vehicle, if the rules of the New York State motor vehicles was followed? At the EBT, there was one lawyer,who conducted the EBT. At the trial another lawyer appeared, and had no transcript of the EBT. According to the law, only evidence that has been recorded at the EBT is permitted TO BE INTRODUCED AT the trial. Can it be legal and fair, if the Judge ignored the fact that new evidence changed, and completely warped the facts of the case? t *
