Most likely before I think!
Quote:
In April 1960, Moss was found guilty of dangerous driving. He was fined £50 and banned from driving for twelve months after an incident near Chetwynd, Shropshire when he was test-driving a Mini.
The point is that racing drivers are safer at 90mph than ordinary drivers at 30mph, because they know how to handle their cars. But nobody is above the law, however famous they are. Police tend to use that approach to stake the sting out of issuing a ticket.

I think part of the reason they're safer at 90 than most people at 30 is because everybody else on the track is also a professional driver who also knows how to handle his car, and they have been trained how to be safe around each other.

Do you know what I think? I think there isn't nearly enough Oklahoma spelling about. I like it! Perhaps it's time to start a petition...? But before we do that:

Interestingly... you managed to choose one of the wrong pairs, David, although you did manage to put the one that you didn't leave in the place it started in in the original jumble, in the right place - so congratulations :)
And you almost managed to get the last letter correct, but didn't because it was the one before that which, if you'd leapfrogged the letter before that, over it - would have given you a double correct at the end, instead of only half of a double at the end which is what you have got. Giving you two correct but not together.
If you're interested - the whole of the last two paragraphs were originally written without any punctuation at all. It made even my head spin. So I chucked in some bbcode but that didn't help much, so I lobbed in some small squiggly things and a couple of dots to help because I'm feeling particularly kindly today.

...but not necessarily around pedestrian crossings, multiple junctions and two way traffic. Pop them into a grand prix circuit and I suspect we'd get a completely different picture of how safe they are as drivers... but that's just my view :)
@Chris - yes, it is :)

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Heh heh heh, that is going to cost you a large glass of summat or other within the next 7 days that is, my fine beauty. And of course we don't know that it wasn't a rather hairy nectarine do we?

Obviously I gave too many hints at once.
I eagerly(?) await your next instrument of torture.
(As I do at Seti, unless you've posted a new one since I last looked, which was not much over three hours ago.
[edit]
And upon checking, I find that you in fact have.)

One each of two of the four letter pairs are already in the correct place if that helps? I could tell you more but I won't... oh... maybe I will...
