The Police driving manual says that the average drivers reaction time is .75 seconds or 1 cars length for every 10 miles per hour.
Test your reaction time, but be carefull, it can become quite addictive

First go ....
I guess that means I'm fairly safe to be riding through sheep-grazing country.
Apparently I'm a
"Rocketing Rabbit" ....
which sounds a bit too much like something from a conversation between Aladinsaneuk and Jadaris

Had another go but can't seem to get off the bobcat. Mind you it appears sometimes that they run on for a bit after I've clicked the button so I'm starting to think that maybe my awfull connection speed might be a factor.

Well I've had a few in the 0.17 region but mostly in the 0.22 - 0.25 region but usually one or two in the five go out towards 0.3 and occasionally beyond. I'm sure I've hit the mouse reasonably consistently though and they seem to keep running after I've clicked.
Maybe I'm just addled but It'd be interesting to check out if this is a server or client side application?

jadaris just texted me to say she had a rampant rabbit - sorry rocking rabbit.....
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
