A I was in my car at the stoplight. / Q Did you have a current driver’s license with you? A No, sir. I left it at home. It was in my / other car. I put it there the night before. Q What type of license do you have? * Do you know what / I mean? Was it a Class C or Class A? A I don’t know what that is. I wear contacts. I / must wear contacts or wear glasses. Q That was my next question. You were wearing contacts? A Yes, sir. I always have / them on. I can’t see without them.. Q Now, going back to * the class of the driver’s license, do you know / what class of driver you are? Do you have a license to drive a truck? A I was driving my pickup / truck that day. Q I am talking about a big truck like a tractor-trailer. Do you have a driver’s license / for something like that? A No, sir. * I have a pickup truck, and it is not even a big one. It / is just for personal stuff. Q Can you drive a bike or a motorcycle? Does your driver’s license show that you / can drive a motorcycle? A I don’t have one of those. I have never had anything but a car or a / truck. * Most of the time, I have a pickup truck.. Q Well, I think it is safe to say that / you have a Class C driver’s license. Do you have that license with you at this time? A Yes, sir. It / is in my pocket. Q Could I have it for just a minute? I would like * to get a copy of / it. A That is no problem. Let me find it. Q Well, when you do find it, just give it to me. / I will have a copy made while we continue with the deposition. I should have asked for the driver’s license / right from the start. The class of driver that you are * is on the license. It is on the back, / if I remember. A I have it. Here it is. This is the new one. I don’t know where it says / the type of driver. This is not the one that I had at the time of the accident Q That is / fine. As long as you had a * driver’s license at the time of the accident, then you are okay. Did / I ask you whether or not your license had been suspended? A As far as when the accident happened, the license / was good. It was suspended a long time ago, but at the time of the accident, it was good. Q Did / you have * anybody else in the car with you on that day? A No, sir. I was alone. It was just / me. Q Did you have anything to eat that morning before the accident occurred? A I think so. I eat a meal / around 6 or about that time. I don’t have a chance to eat while I am at work. * It is / a long time until the next chance to grab a bite to eat. I don’t know for sure, but I / think I had something to eat. Q When was the last time that you had anything of an alcoholic nature to / drink? A I don’t remember. I don’t drink as much as I did when * I was young. I have a drink / now and then. Q Did you have anything to drink that morning? A It was probably coffee. I like to have coffee / before I go to work. Q All right. But you did not have anything like beer or wine; is that / correct? A That is correct. Q Did you have anything * of an alcoholic nature the day before the accident happened? A I don’t / know. I would have to think about it. Q Just tell us to the best of your memory. If you remember, / then that is fine. If you don’t, then tell us that you do not remember. A I don’t know for sure. / I don’t think * so. Q Do you recall how much sleep you got the night before the accident happened? A The usual / amount, I would guess. Q What is that? As far as the number of hours, how much did you get? A Six / or seven hours. I don’t sleep longer than that. Q Do you ever get less sleep than that? * A Yes, sir. Sometimes / I stay up to watch a show or I go out with my wife. Q Do you think that you had / had enough sleep the night before the accident? A Yes, sir. I was fine. I remember that I was in a / good mood so I know that I had had enough sleep. Q You were at the stoplight in * your car before / the accident. Did you have a green light or a red light; do you remember? A I had a red light. / The light had just changed. I could have been slowing down for the light. Q In other words, you had not / stopped at the time of the accident; is that correct? A I think * so. Q How fast in miles per hour do / you think that you were moving? A I don’t know. I think that I was almost at a halt. I would / guess two miles per hour. I was about to stop. Q How many other cars were at the red light at / that time? A Do you want to know * how many were going the same way as me? Q Okay. That is a / good place to start. How many cars at the time of the accident were at the stoplight on the same / road as you? A I would say that there were two cars in front of me. Q How about the cars on / the other * side of the intersection? A I don’t know. The accident happened fast Q As much as you can, I don’t / want you to guess, but do you have an idea? A I would say two or three. Q Two or three cars / were on the other side, to the best of your memory; is that correct? A Yes, sir. I * believe that is / correct. Q At the time of the accident, do you remember if any cars were in the middle of the intersection? / A No, I don’t believe so. No, sir. Traffic had not started for the traffic that was eastbound or westbound. Q You / were southbound; is that right? A Yes, sir. I was on the way to * work.. Q As a matter of fact, you / were late for work on the day of the accident? A No, sir. I was not. Q We have your prior deposition. / I believe that you had said that you were late; isn’t that correct? If you remember things differently now, please / tell us. A I don’t know what I said in * the deposition. I was due at work at 9 in the / morning. Q That is your regular time to start work each day? A No, sir. |
