I had no problem dragging 12 lanes of road on the canvas.  I don't see 
why you had issues with it.

Also, chances are that if your accident involved all 8 lanes, there will 
be a police report, and more than likely tv footage of the scene.  In 
that case, you don't need to draw the scene yourself.

I don't know what the rules are in the UK, but in my Canadian province, 
for small fender benders without injuries, the police will not even come 
and file a report, so you have to file it yourself with the other 
parties involved.

Nice tool, but I don't think it'll be the next killer app.
