When Reed hears a call on their patrol car radio he calls Malloy over who takes off his hat with his left hand as he gets into the driver's side and sets it on the floor of the car closing the door with his right hand Malloy's right hand could still be seen on the door as he hit the gas pedal and they moved forward This means he had no hands on the steering wheel or gear shift.
When the red car goes speeding past, the pavement is wet and there are puddles on the road. When they stop the car, everything is bone dry.
