Control Freaks

Driving is the last thing on your mind...

Audi & BMW - guilty as charged! Audi's washer fluid warning is enough to induce road rage with no other bugger within 100 miles of you. And Bimmer's frost warning must surely be programmed to beep at the moment you're trying hardest to concentrate, thereby maximising the "What the F..." effect. Fortunately the Cerbera suffers from neither of these things

The frost warning system on a Cerbera is a full Head Up Display of all the traffic behind you, isn't it?

And that's not distracting???

And the new S-Type Jag has a VERY DANGEROUS very loud warnerbeeper on the radio when you leave a traffic transmitters' area on radio. Had this happen to me in a tunnel in Switzerland and I thought the 'kin engine was blowing or summat. Some dimwit american idea!!!!! Stop these numpty bimbo ideas before they get put into production!
A small beep is acceptable but not a 150dB scream!!!
