Expert reconstruction and expert opinion on seatbelt use were refused because the trial judge can, on available circumstantial and witness evidence (skid marks, damage, photos, witness statements and injury mechanics), make the necessary findings on speed, distance and seatbelt use; the proffered expert evidence would be speculative, unnecessary, risk usurping the judge's role and would add disproportionate cost.
