    This ACC has to be one of the worst things to deal with.
    Next is that crappy collision avoidance system.
    Curious how many times it has actually caused collisions.

    I like my side radar,I think it’s just another tool to use. But hate that loud ### sound if I put my turn signal on to let people know I want to get over. That is distracting and annoying. The collision avoidance slams the brakes at times for no reason. That is a problem for sure.

    That’s where i get in trouble..
    Comeback, “Man it’s ok, I didn’t realize, I was afraid of the dark as a child, you are still afraid as an adult.” and walk off.

    I like the way you think…:D

    I’ll say 2 things.

    (1). OP has been to my home and shook my hand. In over 30 years of driving he’s one of the more upstanding and respectful drivers I’ve ever met, and I’m #### proud to call him a friend.

    (2). It has been said that ### holes are less likely to be a pr!ck after their head quits hurting….

    Some people just need to be reminded that they are not as bad as they think they are. Being a general good person is lost now days. It takes zero effort to be nice to others. I try to respect others as much as I can but we have some pretty Effing Dumb people in this world that could use a nice bending over!

    Neither one should be on when the truck is parked.

    Thankfully my Pete has a setting in the dash where I can turn off the auto headlights so it works entirely by the switch, and the DRLs are no longer an issue since they’re incandescent bulbs. One burnt out, so I removed the other.

    I'm still trying to figure out how people sleep with their hazards on. I see it too frequently to have faith in humanity.

    At least the amazon drivers arent blinding you at the truck stop. They are parked on the shoulder and waiting to pull out in front of me every 25 miles.
     
    Oxbow, JoeyJunk and Hammer166 Thank this.
