This is where us RD1 guys get to laugh at you. My radar isn't going to break, because my car doesn't have finiky expensive contraptions like that. I don't need radar to drive safely at all, because I bothered learning to drive safely for myself.
I'm not trying to imply that I'm somehow better than y'all. On the contrary, I would like to encourage you to depend less on this newest bs, and to improve your skills so you don't need it.
Please drive safely... Your car really doesn't know how.
What does RD1 refer to? (showing my ignorance) Thanks!
I believe that the "newest bs" as you refer to, will in fact save many injuries and potential lives....if the driver knows how and
when to take advantage of them. I doubt there is any driver here that hasn't been distracted at least once for a few seconds, with potentially disastrous results. These "finiky (finicky?) expensive contraptions" can, and do save lives.
With that said, all here have survived without them...I've been driving over 50 years, and can still walk, talk breathe in and our, and safely drive over 17,000 miles a year, and yet, I do appreciate the newest safety tech.
It is important to always be aware of the conditions one is driving in, and not expect the safety tech to save your bacon, or to rely on the safety tech during a snow or heavy rain event.
That's my opinion.
