I am in agreement with you on lane assist but my other hate on my car, driver fatique it comes on after ten mins on road
If your carbon monoxide alarm has been trying to wake you up, and now your car is trying to as well, maybe you are too relaxed these days? If your fridge starts beeping at you as well, then I'd be concerned.

Here are the official Government figures for UK energy issued in September 2025 that are pretty conclusive in that renewable electric generation exceeds fossil fuel electric generation.

No one is disputing that, but why do we have to pay for the wind farms to go into stand by and at other times pay for old power stations to be fired up.
I think you may be ignoring the fact that the gas fired generation stations are also paid extremely high rates when wind/solar have insufficient output, plus there are no longer any “ old power stations” to fire up other than DRAX on its dubious wood chip boilers !
How can I be ignoring the fact when it was me that mentioned it?
How does it work? Most country lanes I know have no white lines so no "lanes" as such.
Exactly my point as it still tries to operate. Sometimes it twitches you towards the verge and at other times towards oncoming traffic. On a motorway with white lines, it is even worse! In my opinion if a driver needs all these gadgets, then maybe they should not be on the roads?

There aren't any old power stations left - the last coal-fired power station, Ratcliffe-on-Soar, closed over a year ago

They can pick up verges. My daughter was commenting that along one lane the verge was cut back during resurfacing. Now when she drives down that road her MG 3 picks up on the edge of the the tarmac and squeaks away, giving a gentle vibratory push to the right, and the road is not edged in white paint either.

Nuclear, gas etc are all "old" power stations, but maybe I should have used the term "mothballed" power stations. I must admit coal fire power stations ever even crossed my mind.

It does pick up verges, but cannot understand why it twitches towards the verge. A lot of country roads can be twisty even A roads so no fun when the car brakes unexpectedly in a bend. When doing my advanced driving course we were taught to slow down slightly before a bend and then accelerate through a bend and not to brake in a bend. Common sense really.
