Abstract
The procedures used by law-enforcement officers in traffic-accident reconstruction contain a wealth of material that can be applied in teaching secondary school mathematics. Students are highly interested in the milestone of obtaining a driver's license, It is important that they recognize their responsibility of driving within the speed limits to reduce the chance of their involvement in an accident. Should they be in an accident, they may be surprised to know that methods of estimating minimum speeds are available. These methods require a basic knowledge of vectors and trigonometry, which makes their use an ideal real-life application for students in precalculus, mathematical analysis, or trigonometry.
