Defendant's specific expert report was disallowed because it impermissibly postulated primary facts (speeds, distances and lane change timings) and drew inferences from witness statements rather than providing admissible scientific assistance; however, expert evidence on the general effect of overloading on braking and coefficient of friction is admissible in principle provided it does not postulate precise speeds or distances and may be prepared as a joint report over a range of speeds and distances for the court's consideration.
