On Monday, Malik took his four$-$wheeler to Reppart's Equipment & Service for repair. On Friday, he called Reppart's to see if it was ready because he wanted it for a weekend trip. Reppart's said they had done the major repairs, but that the steering system still needed some work and they needed another few days to finish. Malik told them he would pick the four$-$wheeler up and use it for the weekend and then bring it back to have them finish their work. While riding with friends on the weekend, Malik ran into someone because the steering stuck and he couldn't swerve to avoid them. Discuss how a court would determine causation in a negligence suit against Malik.
