Mr. Whaley. Almost. Going across the viaduct is just about the speed, but he slowed down going up Zangs Boulevard. He slowed down a little slower than I was going.
My normal rate of speed, I don't remember the exact speed I was traveling, but I assume it was normal, because that is the way I travel all the time when traffic is clear enough.
Mr. Belin. Your normal rate of speed would be a little bit faster than the rate that he took?
Mr. Whaley. Yes, sir. In other words, not enough to make over half a minute difference in the timing.
Mr. Belin. Was traffic clearer on that particular day of November 22?
Mr. Whaley. It was extra clear, for some reason. That street was clear except when I hit Beckley. When I hit Beckley, there was cars turning to the left, and I had to stop for the light.
Mr. Belin. When we got to Beckley at noon today, or shortly thereafter, the traffic light was green, but you told us you had stopped, so we waited through the red light, did we not?
Mr. Whaley. Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin. Then he turned on Beckley?
Mr. Whaley. Yes, sir.
