No, you nearly had an accident because YOU were at fault.  If you had used the indicator, as you're supposed to do when changing lanes, lane assist would have been temporarily disabled and allow you to cross the lanes without issue.

 

I personally don't like lane assist but will admit it makes me a better driver because I too am guilty of changing lanes without indicating.

I nearly had an accident because of it  (Octavia IV) - when you`re driving on a 2-lane road and have a slow moving object in front (was a bus in my case) and you`re doing like 30-40 lane asshole is off. Then, putting second to overtake I go into the opposite lane and because my speed is now above 55 lane asshole is on and tried to keep me in the opposite lane against an incoming vehicle. Indeed, I`ve had the car for about 7k km now and I`ve never ever had so many freaky situations since I drive and all were caused by the lane asshole.

It certainly is dangerous imo, I've the same model yet mine is on even at 30. A year later and I'm still awaiting a build date for my VRS so hopefully they've fixed the lane asshole as you call it. I'll be looking for someone to permanently switch it off.  

Dangerous??  How?  At the very most it gives you a gently nudge/vibration so I fail to see how it’s dangerous?  
 

Its a minor inconvenience at worst, and unless you have the strength of a 3 year old I really fail to see how it’s dangerous.

 

Somebody, please enlighten me.

 I Agree lane assist turns on at 37mph on all cars turns off when indicating so when he got to 37mph it came on didn't indicate helped him back into lane but if he held the wheel it turns off as well car coming towards him sounds like he was overtaking to late

It's in that one

Don't feel that it's dangerous but a bit odd when it tells me to take control of the steering when I have both hands on the wheel

So you're now claiming not only that Lane Enforce is a useful system, but that you should signal left (RHD countries; right in Wrong HD ones) when returning to your lane after completing an overtake on a dual track road? And when the car "forgets" what nation it's in?

That because it detects no movement of the steering it does it more on motorway when you don’t have to move it or should I say the wheels don’t move 

Am I not allowed to signal left after an overtake if the car knows what nation it is in?

 

It is quite sensible to signal when pulling back into the lane you have vacated to overtake, there will be at least one other driver to benefit from the warning, I do it whenever I can especially on motorways and autoroutes oing from lane 3 to lane 2.

 

Drivers are supposed to indicate to show intention of changing course, direction or lane.

That doesn’t mater if you’re in LHD or RHD If you indicate left or right it turns it off like if you’re on a motorway in the middle lane and you want to go to the inside lane or outside lane And why would the car change nationality

So it's complaining and nannying you in a situation where it doesn't matter  because you're not steering.

Go back and read what I actually said. Now tell me in what situation, on a 2 lane road you need to signal after an overtake in order to perform the expected move back to your normal running lane (and "because Lane Enforce says so" is not a traffic situation; it is a situation caused by bad software not taking account of its environment).

As to the car "forgetting what nation it's in", there are multiple cases where this has happened on this very blog. The most you're doing is showing that you can't or don't read what someone else has put properly.

I always indicate to turn back into the lane I was in after the overtake so that driver knows what you are doing. The steering warning you can turn it off in the settings

I turn mine off, and Start/Stop, as a matter of routine when I drive off. I don't want even a slight tug on the steering wheel when I'm driving.

 

As for indicating when changing lanes, you should only be doing so if another road user may benefit, otherwise it's pointless. After an overtake an indicate that you're pulling back into your original lane may or may not be needed.

Lots of drivers out there seem to see nobody around to benefit from an indication, these are often the same drivers that seem to wonder about out of their lane.

True, but those are simply bad drivers. 

& lots that think they are good drivers, or maybe were back in the day find out once lane keep assist alert them find out that they wander.

No, bad drivers are the ones who signal without any idea whether or not there is anyone else there to see it.

That too

Got any proof of this - or just something said to scare people?

I signal when pulling back into the middle lane of an autoroute after an overtake even if I cannot see anyone else who would benefit, you may argue that the driver behind does not benefit, its a valid point but it does them no harm and is to my mind a courtesy, who would benefit is the Audi or BMW driver unseen to me who is undertaking the car I have overtaken especially if they are joining from a slip road and in their usual hurry to claim their personal outside lane, my indicating will hopefully avoid them sideswiping me but to date its been me that has seen them (I always look back as I change lane) and had to take evasive action.

You probably haven't undertaken any form of advanced driver training. There shouldn't be a driver you haven't seen. In the case you mention a shoulder check before you change lanes would confirm whether it's clear to move across or not.

Edited 3 February, 20233 yr by sussamb

I dont have X ray vision that can see through the car I have overtaken any more than the impatient driver of the Audi undertaking it has to see me. I am also blind in the left eye but that is of no relevance. I only ever pull across when it is clear to do so but when Mr Audi swoops up in an undertaking manouvre it will not remain clear.

 

You are incorrect in your opinionated assumptions regarding advanced driver training, I make no assumptions about whether you have had any but if so then they must have been lacking when it came to the use of indicators, but hey! What do I know, I'm a bad driver, I read it on a forum.
