This is a good example of an admissible opinion, and the judge should overrule the objection. I cannot imagine a judge excluding an adult witness's estimate of the speed of a car.
Any questions? Email tanford@indiana.edu and refer to 1203
What about item 2? What if plaintiff asks the witness for her opinion of the speed of the airplane? What objection and argument can the defense make?
