Conversation
Shamil saw an accident between two cars last month. He is a witness in court today.

Lawyer: Shamil, would you please tell the court what you were doing when the accident happened and what you saw?

Shamil, “I was driving home from work. It was about 5.15 and there was a blue car in front of me. We were both driving along. Harbor road when a small white Ford suddenly shot out of a side road. It shot right in front of blue car. The driver tried to stop, but it was impossible. He ran into the white Mercedes.”

Lawyer: “I see. Now, how fast was the car in front of you going when the accident happened?”

Shamil: The blue one? 30 kms per hour. Sure, no more than that.

Lawyer: And the white Ford shot out without any warning?

Shamil: Yes, that’s right.

Lawyer: How can you be sure the blue car was doing only 30!

Shamil: Because I was only doing 30 and the blue car wasn’t going any faster than I was.

Lawyer: Are you sure of that? Were you looking at the speedometer when the accident happened?

Shamil: Sure, not. I was looking ahead.

Lawyer: Well, if you weren’t looking at your speedometer how you could be sure how fast you were doing?

Shamil: I never go faster than 30 on that road. It’s against the rule, that’s why!
