In article , Gunner Asch says...

Reasonable, meaning it will pass the Reasonable Man test, which is
basicly what the jury will decide was reasonable.

This is "beyond a reasonable doubt" which is the standard in a
*criminal* trial. Remember though for a civil trial it is
'preponderance of the evidence" which is much less strict
standard.

Hence the desire to avoid the chance for a civil trial.

This is what my wife explains as "if you hit a pedestrian, it is
sometimes better to back up and do it again."
