All road vehicles should have autonomous emergency braking

Naturally normal rules apply, don't think I suggested anything other than that. Mirror Signal Manoeuvre, not signal-manoeuvre

And for good order the habit obviously refers to mirror, signal, manoeuvre, why would you leave it out sometimes and include it other time. that has no bearing on taking your eye off the situation.

Back on topic I drove my GFs 1 year old Toyota Corolla Hybrid today (called something beginning with ‘A’ over there I think?) and approaching a roundabout pressed the brakes about as hard as in my Skoda Suberb. Cue the clunk noise and hazard lights but no noticeable braking with eyeballs trying to exit my head forwards. Pretty disappointing I’d say at best ......

If it is the same as our Prius was, the brakes are seriously bad, guess the heavy batteries have something to do with it. But also manhole covers cause the car to skip without fail. One of the worst cars we've ever owned.

I've just taken delivery of my new Citroen C4, the first thing I did was turn the feature off, definatly don't want it trying to take over my car.

As for the indicating out of habit, very bad habit indeed. In advance driving you only indicate when it will give information to another road user, if none around don't indicate. I've pulled driving instructors up for doing it on mock tests.

So you are 100% certain that you’ve seen all road users 100% of the time?

This will run and run - to quote myself from the last, now locked, indicating thread

LOL thanks for the heads up, so perfection does exist then

It does. But not for me

Missed a limit change from 60kph to 50kph. A couple of red flashes later, busted by the speed camera in Liechtenstein stein. Lets see if they follow up on it.

That is where machines aren't great, hopefully a good outcome.
