Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

In order to be competent to testify on the subject the witness must have had a reasonable opportunity to judge the speed of the automobile. Accordingly, before any witness, regardless of age or driving experience, is permitted to offer an opinion concerning the speed of a vehicle, the record must show both that the witness has sufficient knowledge of time and distance to determine speed, and that the witness observed the vehicle in motion over a period of time and distance adequate to make that determination. Once these threshold qualifications are established, the witness' degree of knowledge and the duration and quality of the witness' observations become matters of credibility, not competence.
