Well that's a whole new topic, and we then get into the different grades of blue light drivers 😁

Because we're getting too deep into driving techniques etc. You're clearly happy using Lane assist which is fine. Equally I'm not so I won't. Between the 2 views there will be lots of other takes on it. The topic is Lane assist is dangerous, which I think we'd both agree it isn't by itself.

Very true but we're getting well off topic now 😁

Yes fair point but I can understand why many don't like it and turn it off.

True but it's taught to ensure there is an awareness of what is happening. Too easy to indicate on every possible occasion.

We're taught not to over indicate. There is no point in indicating if no one will benefit from an indication. That's not of course to say that every police etc driver gets it correct, just like many drivers don't.

Ah well my I passed my last blue light assessment easily so suspect I'm a few 'test resits' ahead of you. Just a shame every driver on the road isn't reassessed regularly, might have saved me having to deal with so many accidents/injuries/deaths

Well I'm not going to get in a tit for tat with you over my driving ability suffice to say it's at a high standard due to numerous advanced, including blue light, driving courses that I've done over the years. The fact is when I cross a white line I intend to do it and in many cases an indication isn't required. I therefore turn lane assist off as I don't want my car telling me it thinks I'm doing something wrong. Equally I'm content to know that the way I drive saves more fuel than stop/start ever could, at idle a car uses only a minute amount of fuel. Equally if I know I'm going to be stopped for a reasonable amount of time I do what I've done for years, I turn my engine off.

Funnily enough I've driven for over 40 years and never unintentionally driven over white lines unless I intended to. I also save way more in fuel etc by my manner of driving than stop/start could ever hope to match

Afraid I disagree. In what way does either serve a useful purpose?

Diesel engine ticking over

Lane assist isn't what I would call dangerous but it is annoying so along with Stop/Start I turn it off everytime I drive off. It has no useful purpose.

I switch mine off as can't abide it, did the same on my previous Ford that I ran for nearly 10 years.

Exactly. Shows it's just a con.

Ah ok but that's not what was said above, it said up to MY21 and after MY21

Reckon it means all of them except MY21?

Strange cos my boot is quite large for the size of the car

Part of the mirror housing/roof console I believe

4. It's called progress

I switch mine off the moment I start off, it's just a con so manufacturers can claim a slightly reduced mpg

And we know who to blame for that... but they chose to believe all the lies

Mine is left hand drive bought in France

Mine didn't come with locking wheel nuts, happy with that

Great, thanks

Yep, and it's free! Oops, no it's not, that's the energy blue, we have 2 skodas in those colours so saved over a grand 😁
