In the space of a weekend, two fatalities in the Edinburgh area, both of them under strange circumstances.
You can understand why the police need to be left to get all the facts as things may not be obvious at the time.

Strange that you have pointed out cases where absolutely nothing of value was added by further and lengthy examination of the road and vehicles.

I saw the chaos created while travelling in the opposite direction, fortunately I know the area well enough to avioid it on the way home.

I think a few planes would have left Edinburgh airport without the passengers caught up in the tailbacks.

Both cases were more than straightforward road incidents/accidents. What makes you think there's no value in reconstruction and forensics from point of view of apporioning blame and identification of perps?

Your two examples consist of one Darwin award winner, so drunk as he was attempting to throw a punch at a fellow reveller that by missing, his momentum catapulted him on to the road in front of a passing truck. The second is "attempted" murder where the victim was either thrown out of a taxi, not by the driver, by another passenger, or leapt to his death trying to escape the attacker. No amount of additional road or vehicle examination, deployment of laser scanning technology or interrogaton, at a closed down road, of vehicles collision data recording technology will generate or "improve" evidence.

So no point in telling you that the taxi was stationery when the guy got out with the taxi driver?
