IAM & Lane Keeping Assist - view..?
Discussion
Having passed my IAM test over 25 years ago, and very proud of this, I wonder what the clubs/instructors view is of some of the new systems.
Maybe this might be covered if I had a recent evaluation/test, but just out of curiosity what is their view/guidance. I was taught, only signal when others would benefit, makes perfect sense.
However, new cars, will try and keep you in your lane, unless you indicate to change lanes, by tugging the wheel back to the center, sometimes like my misses Tiguan quite forceful, unless turned off.
So is it now taught to indicate all the time, or turn off the lane keeping.
This is a feature I hate when driving, and have to turn off, every time the car starts. Have read somewhere that if, in the event of a crash, 'safety features' were found to be turned off (might be permanently deactivated, it wasn't clear), then insurance maybe void.
What's the general view of features such as this these days, the same could be said about front collision, sometimes activates incorrectly, specifically with the club.
