One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives

The lane keeper fucks up and tries to drive on the shoulder, driver turns it off, research group acts surprised that it’s turned off

I had a few times where my lane assist thinks I’m turning when coming up on a left turn lane for some reason.

I’m never turning that shit off though. I’ll deal with the random beeps and resistance if I get too close to the line or something.

I remember reading a reddit thread a couple years ago where someone legitimately asked “what if there’s a bicyclist on the road?” I replied with the proper precautions to take when that happens, and the same dumbass replied with “but the beeps are annoying if I try to go over the line when lane assist is on!”

I was driving home from the dealership after buying my last car, and the second I felt the wheel jerk out of my hands to take a corner on the highway differently than I typically do (I still stay in the lane, ofc), that shit got turned off and will never be reenabled. One of the most dangerous things is the car doing something unexpected while someone is driving and they try to correct/overcorrect for it out of shock/surprise and cause a crash.
