‘Real life, people get hurt’

Active Brake Assist potentially removes one option for people who are suicidal.

However when you think about it, if fitted to a service bus, the vehicle would make zero progress because in town streets, individuals appear seemingly oblivious to danger.

So with this and the advent of smart motorways, it is such a pity that since the time the DSA was created, there appears to have been a decline in general driver standards and a lack of respect for other road users – such that driving without due care and attention equates now to simply dangerous driving.

It is a pity that behind all this advancement, the one weak link in the technology remains with the human being. 

 The profession PCV driver has to contend with a lot, and it does not get any better; I no longer count HGV/LGV among the professionals – that is a case of size matters, move over, and if you are behind when I want pass something at 90kph, tough.

Maybe if we are to progress, forget gadgets and go back to basics, and train people that we are not playing computer games where characters get up and walk away – this is real life, and people get hurt.
