You don't even need to be over the white line for it to start pulling at the wheel. As Col says, it's bloody dangerous.
My other half's audi has it. You don't need to code it out...just press a button on the end of the left stalk and it turns off.

Exactly. If your driving is that poor that you need all these safety systems, then quite frankly, you shouldn’t have a driving licence.Col Lamb wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 10:46 am As I have said often enough if ones driving is so poor that one needs to specify Lane Keep Assist or Speed Limit Warning then the cash spent on these options would offer far better VFM if it was invested in a Driving Course with the IAM where ones limited observation techniques would be worked upon to make one a vastly safer driver on the road.
I remember the YUPPIE clowns in the 80’s, more money than road sense.wab172uk wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 11:03 amExactly.

The knock on effect of all these safety systems, is that people switch off. Then when the systems fail, they end up crashing, as they can’t react fast enough.
And they are pushing autonomous cars. How long before the EU start announcing dates that all cars have to be fitted with it?
I think the difference with the Teslas is that their published range is the most accurate of all EVs and drivers know they actually have a chance of getting to their destination without stopping if driven carefully. For most others a stop is inevitable so it’s irrelevant
