Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A shop owner tells a court she saw a white car before a crash and says, 'The car seemed to be moving too fast for the street.' The opposing attorney challenges this testimony, arguing the shop owner cannot comment on the car's speed. Should this testimony be admitted as a lay opinion under the Federal Rules of Evidence?

  • The court should exclude it because the shop owner’s opinion lacks a clear basis in observable facts.

  • The court should allow it because eyewitness testimony is typically admissible in court.

  • The court should allow it because her statement reflects her personal observations and does not rely on specialized knowledge.

  • The court should exclude it because assessing vehicle speed before a crash often requires expert analysis.
