*260CONCURRING OPINION OF
CASSIDY, J.
I concur in the construction of R.L.H. 1955, § 311-1, adopted in the court’s opinion. I also am in full accord with the ultimate holding that the evidence sustains the conviction. However, I am unable to agree that the proof in the case warrants the inference defendant impetuously “stepped on the gas” after he turned into Sixth Avenue. On my analysis of the evidence, the conviction soundly and properly rests on the permitted inference that the defendant — whatever the speed he was travelling at the time — negligently failed to observe and react to the presence in his path of the parked Dodge as he proceeded up Sixth Avenue.
