Lesson from this is to set fire to your car if you've crashed due to stupidity.

I dont think thats true, as if you are speeding you are still insured.
Like, if you go through a stop sign and crash, you are also still insured. Drink/drug and Drive is different though, but thats the only exception apparently |

You may want to read your PDS EDManual.
Every insurance company I've ever been with has a nice paragraph about illegal activities voiding their cover.

Well that means they would get out of paying in any crash. You have to break some sort of law to have a crash. Run a stop sign, illegal u turn, pull out in front of a car and so on.

Pretty sure the Police need a warrant for Ford to download this stuff, they wont be issued for every crash.
But once you make an insurance claim for a write off the insurer owns the car so maybe they can do what they like.... |

Yeah, I had a look at mine, basically said "deliberate misuse of vehicle" So I doubt they would refuse a payout if you are found to be breaking the limit a little |

I'd say it's more because he lied on his report, therefor they voided his claim.

Why would they needs a warrant. In nsw after a fatality all vehicles involved are impounded and in the police custody. They can do and download what they want.

The instruments in modern cars are not mechanical with a spring return like the old gauges were.
They are in effect a sort of stepper motor type system, where the needle is moved by a small geared motor, both up, and down the scale. If you remove power, the needle stays where it was last moved to. Hence a hit big enough to sever the battery cables (or damage the battery enough to stop it from supplying power to the car's systems) will see the speedo & tacho freeze where they were when the power was cut. Most SRS airbag systems have a capacitor in the control module that has enough grunt in it to trigger the airbags if the battery power fails prior to needing to trigger them. |

In regards to the speedo debate, I cant detail any more on cars, as I'm no expert. But in planes and choppers there have been instances where aircraft haven't had black boxes and they determine the aircrafts speed, rate of descent, configuration etc by impact marks on the inside of the instruments glass. When you crash, the huge g forces cause the needle yo slap the glass, leaving a microscopic indent. Has worked for the aviation industry in the past

Apparently called EDR - Event Data Recorder.
The below from a Jeep manual. But looking into it, most manufacturers have had this since the early 2000's, including Ford. Quote:
