Just for fun I tried to guess what my own height would show up as at a gas station that had one of those measuring decals on the wall. I KNOW my height but I still thought I "looked" about 2" taller when I walked by it, while hubby guessed 1" shorter than my actual height. I'm 5'4" and swore I measured 5'6" while hubby said I was 5'3". And that's when I was up walking and there was a measuring stick next to me. Seems like it'd be pretty hard to get very close guessing about someone sitting in a car from a distance. Again nothing against the witness(es), I can just see where it would be difficult to get all that close.
ETA: I do agree that "tall" or "short" would be easier, just saying I'm not taking the exact height as definite. I wouldn't be even slightly surprised to find out the guy's 5'7" or 5'11". (or 'gal' but I'm guessing guy at this point)
