Although Stewart's (D) son was only 17 years old and not very experienced as a driver, D allowed his son to drive his car for deliveries. D's son hit Clark (P) while on an errand. P attempted to introduce evidence of past events of reckless driving by D's son to show his incompetence as a driver. He did this by cross-examining D's son about his past accidents. D appealed.
