Opinion of the Court

Memorandum: There is substantial evidence to support the determination that petitioner was exceeding the speed limit when his vehicle collided with another vehicle and that the excessive speed was a contributing cause of *888the fatal accident (see, Matter of Neiman v State of New York Dept. of Motor Vehicles Appeals Bd., 265 AD2d 558; see generally, 300 Gramatan Ave. Assocs. v State Div. of Human Rights, 45 NY2d 176, 181).
