Nobody likes to have their driving style or ability criticised but I see examples all the time in car forums where drivers fail to make full use of the gifts that modern technology has bestowed on us.PhilHornby wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 2:18 pm
In normal ECO mode driving, the fact that the software uses more revs than you would, just illustrates what you've been doing wrong all these years
Whether it is Autohold in conjunction with the EPB, incorrect driving practice in automatic cars, a refusal to believe that FCA is actually operational, or not trusting smart cruise control, there are lots of drivers on our roads who seem incapable or are unwilling to practise new skills allowing them to adapt to much of the equipment, gadgets and gizmos in our 21st century cars.
Moreover, many seem to be stuck in a sort of post WW2 mindset when it comes to maintenance and can’t get their head round the fact that our cars don’t require additional oil & filter changes over and above those specified in the maintenance schedule.
I’ve heard all the various justification for refusing to change their ways but still, many of the whinges I read about in forums has little to do with the manufacturer or the dealer and much to do with the fact that the complainants have never learned to drive a modern car properly.
