Mine's a bit more sophisticated than that....it actually warns you with a series of ever more urgent audio cues....Mrs P's new Panzer has a lane departure warning system. If she changes lane on the motorway without indicating, the steering wheel vibrates like she's driving over greasy house bricks

although I've yet to find out how to adjust the volume level setting.
Turn the radio up!
Technology that Dacia rejected because their drivers are more conscientious & road aware
As reported by me some time ago.........Mrs P's new Panzer has a lane departure warning system. If she changes lane on the motorway without indicating, the steering wheel vibrates like she's driving over greasy house bricks
Goes further than you suggest...it won’t let you change lanes without some pretty hefty steering input to override it.Does she have the full Driver Assist package with radar controlled cruise and other stuff?
Absolutely superb when you get used to it and learn to trust it. Brilliant in stop/start traffic.
And the Reverse Assist - awesome bit of kit.

I'm not sure, she's still learning all the kit it has. It has cruise and speed limiter but not sure if it has full driver assist.
I can't adjust front passenger head rest so makes sitting in the car for more than five seconds hugely uncomfortable as it feels like my chin is being pushed onto my chest. She loves it though and that's all that matters.
Yep, just like that twat that nearly took me out on the A470 a couple months ago, all over the place like shit in a field and completely oblivious.
His other car’s a BMW
I'm in two minds about the ever increasing levels of technology in cars....
1) On the one hand, relying too much on technology has consequences when it fails.
2) On the other hand, anything that helps to deter the pond life from driving because it's too complicated for their amoeba-like thought processes, has got to be a good thing.

Not exactly news. Mine’s electronic and she’s not the new model; she’s the last of the 1200s and she’s two and a half years old.I was told today that the fuel cap on new GS is electronic
You sure it’s just the steering wheel?..........."...asking for a friendMrs P's new Panzer has a lane departure warning system. If she changes lane on the motorway without indicating, the steering wheel vibrates like she's driving over greasy house bricks

How it came up was a guy he knew couldn't open it due to electronic failure
He knows two people with new BMWs, one is a GS and the both have had them back several times and problems not sorted. Don't know what the problems are.

I’ve got to ask the question, why add that level of complexity in to what is a pretty basic mechanism that rarely goes wrong with a little maintenance, it’s like trying to invent the wheel time after time.
It’s a bragging thing, the more gadgets they have the less the owners have to dwell on the fact they’ve been ripped off with a shit car
How does the man with the red flag that walks in front of Dacias fit in?
