>> It mentions a 'black box' on the car - is that simply the OBD box?
Not really clear is it?
The Jaguar was fitted with 'black box', a device which records key features of the performance of the vehicle when it is triggered.
The recorder showed the Jaguar was travelling at 113mph - whereas other traffic had slowed to 40mph because of the standing water.
Could have been fitted as standard and either worked like an aircraft data recorder or just captured key parameters in an accident.
Or it could have been an insurance box if they were a 'thing' in 2007 when the accident actually occurred. Mostly pitched at youngsters. Report doesn't suggest the car's owner who was passenger had previous convictions but if he had maybe even at 58 the box would be offered or required.
