The 'modern cars are shit' thread.

I’m manoeuvring the hateful lump a few yards on private land so I can get a proper car out which is blocked in behind it.
I will not put the seatbelt on. Fuck you, modern car manufacturers and their silly nannying ways, treating their customers like fucking imbeciles.

All these nannies on cars I think are why standards are slipping. Why pay attention when the car keeps itself in lane and auto brakes. Take 22 uear old sales rep out of his 300bhp audi s3 and put him behind the wheel or an anglia on cross plys. I'd give him 2 days.

Cars pulled up at night facing oncoming traffic with their dipped beams on as they have auto lights and an owner who doesn't know how to turn them off.

Exactly - there no longer seems any "Shit your pants" moments between warm, cosseting comfort and instant death.

It's quite difficult to die in a car crash driving a modern car.

People manage it though which might not be so achievable if they got a good fucking fright or two in beforehand.

White light showing to the rear ? .Brighton & Hove buses destination boards are dazzlingly bright leds, probably made in China .

Lost count of cars with ultra bright rear number plate lights , too . China 5 watt LEDS ? They're so bright the reflection masks the number .Is that the reason for using them ?

To counter this I had a brand new Citroen C4 on monday and I really liked it, it was a million times better than the DS3 crossover thing I had a couple of weeks back, it had a touchscreen but the climate had buttons and knobs, it was really comfy and I averaged 57mpg over 200 miles driving normally, which for a big (ish) hatch is pretty good, nice engine and gearbox combo too (1.2 pez 150bhp and 8 speed auto)

I actually considered signing up for one.

Even the seagulls thought it was a load of shit

Or 2 car families. One large car with everything electric and a small city car. Easy to tell because the little car is driven around at night time with only front drls illuminated and fuck all at the back.

Unfortunately.....

The roads and society would often be improved if this wasn't the case

EU legislated the seat belt bing-bong. The Rover 75 would have scored a full NCAP rating but Rover refused to put a bing-bong on it, so they marked it down. THE SHABBY BASTARDS
