As an aside, arguing with Blind Poe is futile. He believes a bus

A bus takes longer to stop than a car because the driver is
courteous to his standing passengers who are about to disembark
the vehicle and not for any physical reason. Blind Poe will use
that as argument without disclosing the reason for it. In
other words he's an idiot troll and all-round bigot who cannot
tolerate being proven wrong. You'll find many just like him.


Hmm, who would collect actual data on stopping distances
of vehicles? Well, it seems that government departments
of transportation would be a reasonable source, since that
falls under their charter.

But wait! You decided that any publication from a goverment
DOT is automatically wrong by being from a government. Hence
the only reliable source of data you trust is data pulled from
your ass.

I can only counter ass-data with measured data, and you've
dismissed all the measured data. So I guess in your world
that means you win.

I guess you win the argument on the human vision system
too, since the theory of human vision pulled from your rectum
is automatically superior to the medical school anatomy
articles I provided you.

And I guess argumentum ab rectum Androclou [1] beats
actual data on relativity too.

What can I say, Androcles. Your arguments are invincible.
