## Opinion text

QUINN, Associate Judge,
concurring:
I agree with my colleagues that based upon the record before ús the order of suspension must be set aside. But I would go a step further and would recommend that the Municipal Court adopt the practice, in speeding cases, of making findings as to excessive speed, in miles per hour, of which a defendant is being convicted, and entering such findings on the information, or elsewhere in its records. This procedure, in my opinion, would eliminate what has occurred in this case. Such findings could not thereafter be challenged before administrative tribunals.
