    wow. that was quite bizzare. but very alarming too.
    When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

    Donuts
    New road rule - you must blink at least three times (while watching for approaching vehicles) before proceeding at an intersection.

    And therein lies the problem. Stare a one point and you miss what is happening in the wider area. SMIDSY is still a case of not looking carefully or completely

    Speaking of which, does anyone know how to go about finding out the state of one's demerit points?

    I must be tantalizingly close to being demerit free again.
