Have you tried PVA droplets either from a syringe or a series of pins in a stick dipped, to speed up the processes? -
Late morning while upstairs I heard a very distinctive sound and looked out to see a Spit circling Wetherby W Yorks, just got a quick sound bite and distant phone image as it left. 20240813_101301[1].mp4

Going back to ED original question. At the moment we are in limbo, some new safety aids certainly are a step forward, blindspot for example. However recently on a test drive the I assume collision avoidance inputted a force which I had to resist on a narrow road when I had to move close to a building next to the road giving space to an oncoming vehicle. Very off putting and in my opinion dangerous in that particular incident, particularly as it was a test drive. Tech is just not there "yet" to be implementing some maneuvers which could be flawed and dangerous. -

I have also advocated this since taking both IAM car and bike and examiner for the bike. This should also flag up health and mobility issues which are supposed to be self declared and incorporate any changes in the law. However in cocooning drivers in ever more luxurious and distraction filled environments can't help alertness. Massaging seats and huge infotainment screens. So add more tech to combat and it becomes a self-fulfilling development. Then ask most (not all) why the drive an SUV - because they feel safer but could cause more disproportional injury to a standard vehicle if they may a mistake which they don't have to bare the brunt off. Alternative to a spike could be to put the driver in a Perspex bubble on the front making them more vulnerable which would focus their attention on the task. -

@Fun Flyer Like you I detest and avoid anything that auto renews wherever possible, so I recently renewed by sending a cheque (remember those π) for the Annual DC/CC Β£57 which they accepted. @Steveio1875 may wish to comment if not acceptable as its not a published option?
