To the question of which lane the collision took place, testified:
"The collision itself was in our lane right in front of me, about 30 meters in front of me." (See his testimony of 8 January 2025, p.  25, paras.  4-5).

The witness was asked to describe the conditions of the road and testified:
"It was completely dark, but there was good visibility and in terms of seeing the lane itself and the separation line, the vehicle coming in front of me, it didn't rain." (See his testimony of 8 January 2025, p.  25, paras.  9-10).

In his cross-examination, he was asked whether he had read his testimony to the police, testified that he did.
Thus, asked whether he retracted the three deviations he made about the defendant in his testimony to the police, which he did not testify about in court, he replied:
"I testified only about the deviation of the defendant's vehicle that came in front of me, to the left into our lane, this is the only deviation I testified to." (See his testimony of January 8,2025, p.  25, paras.  20-21).
The witness was asked whether he and his father had seen the same accident, testified in the affirmative.
He again testified that he had seen only one deviation before the accident.

The witness was asked about section 6 of the indictment, to the fact that the accuser writes that the defendant swerved from a lane.
He traveled several times and he testified, because he had never seen anything like it.

To the question of where a car drove The Kia and whether it was in a swerve or not at the time of the accident, the witness replied:
"Before the collision he was in front of me in my lane and at the time of the accident from what I saw and remember, the Kia tried to swerve a little to the left but didn't have enough time.
Q.  You say in your testimony on page 2, line 13, in which lane did the accident occur, "In our lane, right when the Kaya was a little bit in the opposite lane...", is that correct?
A.  True, the accident was in my lane and the Kia tried to swerve a little to the left.  (See his testimony of January 8,2025, p.  26, paras.  1-5).
