    I've already had 4 trucks in my 9 months at Swift. None of them have had lane departure warning chimes. Does anyone elss have it on their truck?

    Not in a truck, but I rented a Kia something, had that lane deviation BS, and had mismatched tires, so the car was all over the road. You'd look down for a second, on the shoulder, beep, beep,beep, "do you need a break"? That was the most irritating POS, and I couldn't imagine we have gotten to the point where a sensor has to tell you how to drive.

    Nope. That’s what mirrors and paying attention is for.

    Be thankful. Nothing more infuriating than having it go off every 10 seconds at sunset because it thinks every tar strip is an edge line.

    I’ve just gotten in the habit of hitting the ‘disable’ button every 10 minutes now in the afternoons

    Come to find out later, I could have disabled that warning thing, but trying to do that was foreign to me, and I think the Artemis guidance system is simpler.

    I remember all our trucks had them at J.B. unt. I was wondering if any other Swift drivers' trucks had them.

    Most trucks the cruse control will not work if unit is disabled.
    If the beep does not give you road rage the automatic breaking will......

    If it doesnt just hard lock your brakes and cause a major wreck when a gum wraper gets stuck on the radar. Those systems should be outlawed as a #### road hazard.

    Well, if you are on the rimble strip you are out of the lane.

    The lane departure warning is nothing more than an alert to wake up, get off the phone, stop watching movies and drive correctly.
    Right, DP?
