Can you find a news story on this anywhere? There probably won't be one for a traffic court case that was dismissed.
The attorney has chosen not to share with us the other pictures taken by his client's mother, as, "most of which were useless", and posted just the one shown. Of course, I wouldn't expect her to take and submit photos of other, incriminating skidmarks, and any that are incriminating are certainly useless to the defense attorney.
Could be that the car pulled off to the right abruptly either because of a cat or because they were goofing off. Could even be that once they did, they did a Rockford Files "180". I've done them when no one was looking. I know of sportscasters, reporters and politicians speaking figuratively having said someone did a 360 when they meant a 180. Do the police really want to file an amended affidavit saying it was actually a 180 that they saw tracks of, to try to sustain recklessness conviction?. Who knows?
How can skidmarks be so much closer together at the bottom of the photo than at the top, where they are further away from us? I can go to Route 101 and take pictures all day of skidmarks from who knows how many vehicles.
No one was doing donuts on that narrow residential street.
But, even those short skidmarks mean someone was going far too fast for that narrow residential street.
might not have made "the news"
I think you need a bike to do 360s on that road.
Sometimes I like to point out others circular arguments.

I was an artilleryman, and we regularly awarded the "3200 out award" ('3200' being pronounced 'three-two-hundred') to the biggest screwup in the unit.
Artillery uses mils for greater precision, because there are 6,400 in a circle. Half of that being 3,200, someone facing 180 degrees the wrong way was "3200 out".
That was probably more entertaining inside my head...
Pilot: "Unidentified object at two o'clock."
Co-pilot: "I have a digital watch. I don't know what that means!"
it can get ugly
