I almost stacked it coming out of my road this morning. Luckily I was going dead slow at the time and caught it before I bounced off something.

When I was leaving this morning, the roads were nice and icy with a bit of snow falling. Ideal conditions for some tw*t in a people carrier to pull out in front of me forcing a rather scary emergency stop and some fun with the ABS. The icing on that particular stupidity cake was the "Baby On Board" sticker in the back window of the car. I'm fairly confident that the parent is a greater danger to that child than I could ever be

Sleet now falling in Catford. Not exactly quite as delightful as snow.

Now that I like. We just had a fifteen second sleet shower and now nothing again.
They keep saying 20cms of snow overnight and I'm debating whether or not to travel to work. Last thing I want is to be stranded in London and no way of getting home.

i always thought those stickers were for the benefit of the fire brigade arriving at the scene of an accident

Thanks Chris!

That's what I thought, but then I heard it was a myth after a legend of a fire brigade leaving a baby in a car.

I always thought the idea of those stickets was to "persuade" people to stay further back

Thanks Ian!

We had them on our car for a while, believe me they don't stop impatiant p*icks on the M25 sitting on your rear bumber in the rain when there really is no where for them to go in front of you .. Actually really annoys me, I'm sure they would feel the same as I do having it done to them with their kids in the back!

Tailgating is dumb regardless of the contents of the back seat.

HDR question

I was reading the link posted up earlier in thread and came accross this bit:

Set the camera to AEB. Auto Exposure Bracketing. We want to produce an image with as much detail as possible so set it to +/- 2 stops. What this then means is that your camera will automatically change the exposure compensation after each photo. You take the first at 0, then it drops it down to -2. You take another, it puts it up to +2 and you take the last.

1st of all do i just change AEB in the menu? I mean is this where the setting is located
2nd How do it get it to take 3 pics at the varying AEB levels?

sorry for noobness:o
