www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sleep/sheep/reaction_version5.swfTo test your coordination skills. This is for the finger jocks among the Nerdds. Interesting- Happens faster than you think. The automobile driving manual says the average driver's reaction time is: .75 seconds or 1 car length for every 10mph. Test your average reaction time. Be careful this can be addictive!! You will be surprised at how slow you really are. I went from "sluggish snail" with the touch pad to "ambling armadillo" when I plugged in a mouse...

Kai This is a wonderful test, of skill and reaction. My score was not so hot, being: 0.2536 {Bobcat}  Perhaps to do better with practice, but then, that would not be in the spirit of the test.. Your auto manual most likely is quite correct with the average estimate of reaction time. And with this, the realization we are not as hot as we image our selves to be whilst skidding on a wetted skid pan with full front wheel lock. Then the resulting inertia reverse whip with the vehicle crossing back out of control. Once yearly, we are required for refresh of skills at a driving school. With the certificate on file, we then {if passed} are able to sign for an office vehicle. And yes, there is the associated risk level in this process. For as a personal witness, it has been my unfortunate occasion to observe more then one dead hit tree off the course with a great deal of used up grass before and after. The embarrassed operator although uninjured exception his/her pride, was then to spend the required refresh class time for his/her mistake. Karl |

Next Monday I have my chance to test my driving skills. Reports of road conditions between Haines, Alaska the ferry terminal and Fairbanks Alaska are reported to be a good winter condition with clar, ice and occasional snow, with temperatures in the 30's below, warming up Tuesday into the -15 below F (-35 C to -22C). I have become wussy since I left Fairbanks, and -30 is colder than I prefer, whereas a reasonable break in temperature is -40 F = -40C) and not -30. So I get to face the real Alaska and not the Banana Belt I have lived in since returning from Europe. That will be some 640 miles to drive in 2 dys, likely 220 the first evening and the rest the following day.
I am thinking of loosening the fan belt, as rubber has a heck of a large coefficient of contraction, snapping belts.
