Sergeant A. M. Scrim. of the Trafo Department. stated that he examined the car in question a day after the accident occurred. "I took the ear to Waterloo Road, with defendant, friend and
ä Sergs. Paton as passengers. We visited the scene of the accident. I made a brake test at approxi mately 30 m.p.h. according to the speedometer, and I applied the
