Whenever you go over the speed limit by 10kmph, there is a brilliant white flash to remind you to slow down. Actually, it's not the car design - it's from the automatic speed cameras the Road Transport Authority have placed at the bottom of every hill, to bring in millions in speeding fines revenue for the State government. It really is a problem - it's too dangerous to use the cruise control in city traffic, and without it, it only needs a few seconds lapse in concentration and YOU'RE GONE! -- Peter Wilkins 2/24 Cove Avenue, MANLY, NSW, 2095, AUSTRALIA Email: wilkinspnopsamail.com.au Phone/Fax: +61 2 9977 2395 Mobile: +61 0400 525 273
