My mother used to do that but my father had to stop her as every time she looked over her shoulder she turned the steering wheel too ?I always look over my shoulder before overtaking. It is only impractical if you have a shoulder or neck injury.

I find the R46 good on motorways - most of the time, but it still occasionally tries to bring me (quite sharply) off at a slip road if I'm fractionally more left than right in the lane, to counteract I find myself keeping a whisker further right and also grabbing wheel slightly tighter at these points, neither is ideal or should be required.LKA in R46 seems to work well on motorways etc but is a pain on rural roads where it does need to be turned off.
In ref to blind spot.... Don't you find the blind spot monitor effective?
Sorry but I think you've totally missed my point, indicating when the road appears empty in no way should be considered an alternative to fully monitoring your surrounding, it's an EXTRA 'belt and braces' approach for the one in a thousand time you may not have seen someone, be that from a blindspot or a foolhardy biker who has come from behind way too fast.(I'm not condoning it)I honestly think that if you're trusting that someone you haven't seen is going to see your indicator and thus manage to avoid colliding with you, you've got yourself in a bad position.
I think you've just reinforced my pointI'm still not quite sure how these sight-lines worked
Indeed. It is the interdimensional potholes that I hate.On the first point, I think I can tell, on a very empty motorway, whether a motorcycle has suddenly manifested from an interdimensional hole.
As long as you think you are right then I'm happy with that.....That second part was an entirely separate observations. OF COURSE I was indicating in that situation. I was merely commenting with surprise on how well the wing mirror allowed me to see the oncoming traffic at a nasty angled junction.

#backtrackingBear in mind I am mostly talking about motorways at very quiet times, or deserted country roads. If there are other people around I generally signal automatically.
#backtracking…..Not backtracking at all ... making the decision whether or not to use indication is very much situation-dependant. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT! ?
Red is always the light at the top of the stackWhat if you're red/green colour blind? ?
Again, not the purpose of this thread…Exactly. It's not a routine look-in-the-mirror, it's a look with the specific purpose of seeing whether there's anyone who needs to know what I'm about to do.
Not at all, I enjoy talking about the good old days ?#senseofhumourfailure![]()
I wish it could just be turned off with the switch, instead of having to confirm "yes *** I DO want the LKA off". Nothing else needs confirmation, you'd think you were jetisoning the main battery pack or something.The answer to me is simple . If like me you don't want any interference with steering the car then you turn it off. If you want interference with steering the car then you leave it on.
