That's a catch-22 then, because where it is now it simply shuts off due to interference anyway. I tried moving it back a tad to avoid the grill, but it's flat up against that plastic post in the grill on the lower portion/driver's side.
I'm sure that is the reason why the Mach1 doesn't have the adaptive cruise
Sadly it happens all too often, as well as blacking out for a myriad other reasons. Not red herrings just uncommon realities.
It NEVER annoys me and has occasionally been useful. Oh that must make me a stupid useless driver ....
I know. The auto stop/start doesn't annoy you either. Good for you.
Of course, it may have concerned them!
If you had actually been there you'd have seen that they had no reason for concern either. It's hard to get an accurate image from a forum post.
Wow - not a great state of mind to be driving on the public roads. Inconsiderate even. Save that attitude for the race track, in fact no it isn't even suitable for that.Yes, that was the first thing I did. Everything I said happened with the sensitivity set to low.
Yes, it's most likely based on an average. And if the average it's based on happens to be lower than your own abilities, then it gets annoying.
Mind you, I know I'm not statistically relevant. I am hot-blooded, fast to react, everything I do, I do very fast, and I have no patience whatsoever with people or things that are slower than I am. If the person in front of me at an ATM, for instance, needs more than twenty seconds to withdraw the money and leave, I feel my blood starting to boil. I feel like pushing them aside and saying "move over, I will do it for you, otherwise we'll still be here next week". I think fast and act fast. This isn't necessarily a good thing (quite the contrary), but that's how I am, and there's nothing I can do about it.
This is why I get annoyed when someone (or something, in this case) treats me as if I were slower. And incidentally it's why most of my posts are so passionate in style, which may give one the impression that I'm always grumpy and/or angry. I'm not.
It's just that I value my freedom more than anything in the world, even more than my life. And I love cars with a passion. I live for cars, I live for driving, I dread the moment when I won't be able to drive anymore. Cars are my air. So, any system that attacks both of my core values at the same time is bound to make me mad.
But then from your subsequent post about not having patience it is equally hard for you to put yourself in their position. Many many people lack judgement when angry or full of adrenaline and over rate their abilities - not a good combination
I most likely will as I am several 1000 miles away from you but pity the locals around you...As I said on a different occasion - just stay out of my way and you'll be fine.
It seems a lot of things annoy you and trigger your lack of patience. maybe you should seek some help before you end up hurting yourself or othersI know. The auto stop/start doesn't annoy you either. Good for you.
You be happy with them, I will be happy without them.
Perhaps you've overstated how aggressively you drive, because it sure sounds like it's too much for public roads. And I'll always believe that even the best drivers can make mistakes. If your collision avoidance system is reacting within specs so often, then it's hard to believe that you're not constantly placing yourself in positions where even the slightest slip could cause a catastrophe. Then there's the issue that not everyone is as good a driver as you.
