So.... is there ANYONE on this forum who follows speed limits?
Not going to happen, at least in the US. I drive 58yo Land Rover that cannot be held to current vehicle regulations - or my '95 RRC for that matter!
Correct - at least here in NJ. Once a vehicle is registered as a “classic” (25 years+) no inspection and TBH no one cares. My Series didn’t even have seatbelts. I added them because they make sense, but I was not bound to legally because they were not mandatory for that MY.
based on ECM evolution pertaining to older Ferraris, BMWs, Jaguars, all the early fuel injected engines provided with Bosch injection systems, there will be aftermarket replacements for all those little gadgets.
Oh I totally did, in Idaho. 48 in 55.So.... is there ANYONE on this forum who follows speed limits?
Which requires maintaining your current system or retrofitting CARB certified updated and modernized equipment - not slappin' in an old school 454. I'm very familiar with California's requirements and have seen a lot of vehicles fail over the years and I don't even live there.Remarkably, in California there's no inspection/MOT/road-worthiness test of any kind. As long as your emissions are tits, you're golden.

I’m OK driving the speed limit. There are always exceptions…So.... is there ANYONE on this forum who follows speed limits?

I guess we'll have to disagree on this point - and below are just a handful of examples of auto-enthusiast sites where this topic is being discussed - so a lot of people seem to think it is an appropriate topic for a car-enthusiast forum. Whether or not we can drive our cars seems relevant to a lot of car-enthusiasts.While an important topic worthy of deep inquiry, a discussion of government regulation and personal liberty is arguably outside the scope of this thread on what is an automotive enthusiast forum. Yes the ADAS system of the Grenadier has a connection to these issues but in the greater scope of things it is an insignificant aspect of the problems facing society. For purposes of this discussion the "annoying" aspects of the ADAS alerts and user interface are more appropriate to the intent of this forum. There are a plenitude of other venues available to discuss the finer points of politics, government and society.
So much talk yet no acknowledgement that having fewer intoxicated drivers on the road might actually have considerable benefits. Does this tech feel draconian, yes it does. It is worth it for additional safety, that is up for debate. But it must be argued from both sides not just one sided fear mongering about the possible negatives.I guess we'll have to disagree on this point - and below are just a handful of examples of auto-enthusiast sites where this topic is being discussed - so a lot of people seem to think it is an appropriate topic for a car-enthusiast forum.

This is a perfect example of what PACs do to influence politicians. Groups like MADD have been trying for years for this type of legislation and they finally got what they wanted. The legislation does state that the system must be "passive". Requiring the driver to do something such as blow in...bobistheoilguy.com

I can totally see this being a possibility with the technology available today as cars have become rolling computers. Where will this end before someone can tell you you aren’t leaving home for some reason and your car will no longer start because of a remote signal that has been sent to it...community.cartalk.com
It is impossible to legislate out all of the risks to ones life and the sooner we stop trying to do so the better off we all will be as death is, and always will be, a fact of life. To inconvenience the lives of 278,063,737 vehicle owners to save a few is really pretty ridiculous.So much talk yet no acknowledgement that having fewer intoxicated drivers on the road might actually have considerable benefits.

If the sensors were iced over, that would be the parking sensors in the bumper, and not related to ADAS at allDrove in ice on I-10 yesterday. bumper to bumper and I got bonged to death going less than 5 MPH with the car in front of me about 10-15 feet away. I'm assuming the sensors got iced over and were just freaking out. Even tried to turn off all system sounds and all ADAS and could not stop the bonging. Yes INEOS, you need to release a software solution or an audio kill/mute switch. (Eds: Bong as in sound and not as in Cheech and Chong).
Just turn off the PDC.... Happens in our Sprinter anytime after driving for an extended period in slush/salt/snow (just like the radar cruise control stops working in inclement weather as well for the same reason)I had a rental that happened to me to and I swear I wanted to run that thing into a lake for this very reason.
Looking to you getting your Grenadier, so you have an ‘experiences.’If the sensors were iced over, that would be the parking sensors in the bumper, and not related to ADAS at all
