Yeah, I think NCAP lost the plot when they decided that all of the nanny systems were needed to get full marks (or , indeed, any marks). I’d be happier if they scored their 5 stars for crash protection and then added an A,B ,C or similar score for “other aids” like auto braking, rear seat detection, seatbelt bongs, driver attention, speed detection etc. at least then we can look for something you will survive in vs something you’d also survive in, but be bonged at because the airbags have deployed…lol.
Its annoying when your car reads the 5mph supermarket parking speed sign and bongs incessantly at you for doing doughnuts* 6mph in the car park.
* Of course, these days, doing doughnuts in the car is more about keeping the jam off my t-shirt….
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
