    SFI - What % have or where you going to taking out of production?

    for us - of the options affected - around 1-2% - steep corners/banks, wet holes etc. I understand the outcry at the 'u-turn' because it shows they cant be trusted, but I did wonder how many people were actually going to be affected. Looking at the results above, not that many.
