By the way, does anyone know why POE keeps relaoding and losing the connection? I have no problem with other websites but POE seems to be doing strange things. Ron do you know of any problem or could be my end that is a bit iffy?

Not aware of any problems Syd.

Maybe CathyML would like to comment re the connection in SA?

At 70 mph we cover 105 feet per second.  At 80mph we cover 120 feet per second.  And that difference of 15 feet is for EACH second.  Think about it.

And it gets worse.  Will your car steer and maintain stability at 80mph as well as 70mph ?

And it gets even worse.  How long is your reaction time ?  Thats assuming you are in good health of course.  No CNS problems or any booze the night before.

 For a real scare read some of the research on driver reaction time.  A vast difference between people has been recorded.  Too many reasons to mention here.

Once the 80mph limit comes in to use think about making some money out of it.  Florist or undertaker look like boom industries.
