ACCIDENT WITH 25-EX. CAR.
5.12.32.

Re. D/L.2/B.7.12.32. We attach an estimate for repairing the damage done to the wing on 25-EX.

The tyres of this car had done 6,500 miles, the front tyres being practically smooth. The brakes are efficient, but inclined to cause the car to dive to the left. The car was being used for the company's business.

With regard to the driver's Driving Licence. only the private address of the driver was given to the constable. The company's name may have been noticed however from the Insurance Certificate. We are making arrangements so that every insured driver in this Dept. is warned a few days before his driving licence expires.

We are attaching a letter received this morning from Turner's Insurance Company.
