Q Let us talk about these cars that were in front of you at that time. Were they both in the same / lane as you or were they in a different lane? A They were in my lane, as I recall. At that / point, the road is only one lane for traffic going to the north and one lane for the traffic that / is going to the south. Q So both of those cars were in front of you at that time, and both / of them were in the same lane as the lane that you were in. A Yes, sir, that is correct. Q Can / you tell us if you were able to see around either one of those cars? Do you remember if you / were able to see the road in front of those cars or did they obstruct your view? A Well, I don’t / know just what you want. I guess that you would say that they were blocking my view of the road. / I could see as well as you could expect to be able to see. Anything that is front of you / will block your view at least a little bit. Q What kind of car was the one that was right in / front of you at the time right before the accident? Do you remember the make of the car? Do you / remember or not? A I don’t remember. I do not pay a lot of attention to cars. Q You don’t have an / opinion one way or another; is that correct? A Yes, sir. That is correct. I don’t know. Q Do you remember whether / or not it was a pickup truck or a regular car? A It was a car. It was light blue, and / I think that it had four doors. I believe it had four doors. Yes, sir. It had four doors. Q Now / let us talk about the other car, the car that was in front of the first car. Do you remember / what kind of car that was? A I don’t know. It may have been a pickup truck or it might have / been an SUV. I don’t know. It was quite a long time ago. Q Can you tell us if / you remember either of the cars in front of you stopping in the road or slowing down in the road / at that time? A I did have to slow down for the car in front of me, but I thought that / it was about to make a turn. It did not turn. It went straight down the road. Q It did not / start to turn and then stop; is that correct? A Yes, sir. That is correct. Q How fast do you think that / that car was going at that time before it started to pick up speed again? Can you give us a / rough guess? A I would say that it had slowed down from the 35 mile per hour speed limit down / to about 10 or 15 miles per hour. I believe that that is correct. Q It went down to 10 or / 15 miles per hour. Did it stay at that speed for any length of time or did it speed up / right away. A It went slow for a couple of hundred yards, if I remember. It went slow for a while. I had / to slow down because of it, and I remember that I thought that was odd at that time. I could / not see any reason for it to go slow if it was not going to make a turn. Q Mr. / Davidson, was there a time when that car came to a full stop? It may have been for just a / second or two. A No, sir. I don’t think that it went any slower than the 10 miles per hour speed. / It was not at a stop at any time that I can recall. Q Now before that car had slowed down / to the 10 or 15 miles per hour that you say, do you recall if the car in front of it / had put on its brakes or if it had also slowed down in any way? Can you tell us that? / A I could not say. It may have, but I don’t know if it did or if it did not. Q Now / before your car came to the scene of the accident do you remember seeing a man on the side of / the road. I do not mean a man in a car, but a man that was standing by himself on / the side of the road. Do you remember anything like that? A No, sir. I don’t think I remember anyone like / that. There were people out on the sidewalk, and there were people that were going in and out of the / stores, but I don’t remember a man that was just standing there on the side of the road at that / time.
