Furthermore, you haven't factored in the local constabulary who would probably take a dim view of people operating their vehicles at those speeds.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it \n" ); document.write( " ![]() \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
