So, while on the wrong side of the road overtaking at WOT with an
oncoming truck just having appeared around a curve, mommy decides
to drop the car's speed by magic remote control. What a great
road safety initiative!

The police can get that info via the black box

The police can get that info via the black box

http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/blackbox/

The information in that black box is thoroughly unreliable.
Recognition in court indicates a total failure to understand the
practical limitations of the technology.

For example, if the rear wheels are airborne, the "vehicle speed"
recorded will be the speed that the drive wheels were spinning at,
not the actual vehicle speed.

I'd have to dig up some links, but I've seen quite a bit explained
about the unreliability of data recorded by these devices.

Also, looking at that article, they fail to mention that the final
positions of the cars and the nature and extent of damage would have
allowed the estimation of vehicle speeds at the time of impact... It
isn't rocket science, really. They are using an unreliable electronic
device because (a) it suits them, and (b) it's easy.

Oh, and neither of my cars has such a black box...
