After three months of daily commuting on the A76 with lane-keeping assistance on, a colleague asks if you still pay proper attention yourself. What is the correct answer, per Book p.218?
- No, that is not needed anymore — after three months of flawless use I know the system inside out
- ✓ Yes — familiarity with the system is not proof that you truly know its purpose, mechanism, and risks
- No, that is not needed — as long as the system is on, the risk of that trip is gone anyway
Correct answer: Yes — familiarity with the system is not proof that you truly know its purpose, mechanism, and risks
Explanation
Research shows many drivers precisely do not know the purpose and mechanism, regardless of how long they have used the system.
Why learners get this wrong
- Research shows many drivers precisely do not know the purpose and mechanism, regardless of how long they have used the system.
- The risks stay linked to use, not removed by the system's presence.
