I think you wanted to express that in astronomical units? I'm pretty sure the French successfully petitioned for that change.

What's this 10mph you speak of? Do you mean one sixth the width of Wales per hour?

Well sure if the vehicle is travelling East/West. If travelling N/S it would be one seventeenth the length of Wales per hour. Anywhere in between and you need an artificial intelligence to determine how fast you're going. I can't afford that.

That's the international standard. How it translates into practical application measures such as car lengths depends entirely on the relationship between the fixed size of Wales and the variable size of cars. A typical car length, taking into account length and width restrictions, must be deduced or else the rule of thumb for intervehicle separation (on which your life may depend) becomes less effective.

Sounds like someone needs remedial Driver's Ed.
What part don't you get? It's pretty simple, really...

I wonder if the Royal D. Suttkus Fish Collection, c/o Tulane Biodiversity Research Institute, has King Oscar in a can.

I'd say chronically low inhibitions on my part. That's usually responsible for most of my choices, to be honest.

I'm sorry young lady, you'll have to remain UNDER CONDITIONAL MITIGATION until you can demonstrate this is more of a turn on than a turn off.
