Concurrence — Cappy

CAPPY, Justice,

concurring.

The reasons the court of common pleas gave in its corrected memorandum opinion in support of its decision to sustain appellee’s statutory appeal from the suspension of his operating privileges are identical to the reasons the court gave in its memorandum opinion in Crooks v. Commonwealth, Dep’t. of Transp., No. 70 MAP 2000, 2001 WL 359021 (filed April 11, 2001). I, therefore, join the per curiam reversal and remand for the reasons set forth more fully in my concurring and dissenting opinion in Crooks .
