In the UK, they have done much to reduce road traffic accidents, by putting in speed humps, speed cameras and neglect re-surfacing, so that it is too dangerous to ride a bike/motorbike or go fast in a normal car, hence the rise of 4 x4s. Bungee-jumping with a normal rope should be banned too!! Malcolm - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
