How much testing doesn't reveal how a car will try and put you in the hedge or slam on brakes if I'm reversing my wife's Volvo and another comes within half a mile of me? Or the Hyundai saloon a garage loaned me that forced me off when I was trying to turn right once. Or my friend's Merc which has removed all feel from the steering wheel then fitted special cameras to see the white lines in the middle of the road and create a fake vibration in the steering wheel...what?
Or my Volvo which see a 20mph limit sign opposite the junction where I am turning left onto a road with a 40 limit so would restrict me to 20 in a 40 limit until I pass another 40 limit sign. Safe, I don't think so. I tried the lane keeping aid, it was horrible.
