Re: Accident and Safe Prognosis

Principles of subrogation state that the insurer has to put you back in exactly the same position that you were one second before the “event” occurred.

Re: Accident and Safe Prognosis

My speedo over reads by around 5%, so an increase tyre circumference of 5% will both correct the speedo and drop the revs 5%.  I'd agree with this..
