Know-it-all Bantons!! Can Crusie Control stick?

[Slartibartfast]

Something not adding up....the car and the driver not looking like a 207km crash......

But if its true, I would try to find a saturated grassy area to slow the car down and hopefully get it stuck....

Like I said... I know the guy.... He has had unbelievable things happen to him in the past... but not when any witnesses were around that I know of....

Take that for what you will.

You all really believe a man make it from Caroni to Penal in an accelerating car with no brakes, doing over 140km/h on our congested highways and make it 30+ kms without hitting anyone?

The dealer company will easily find out the truth. All modern cars have an EDR in the event of a crash so investigators can search the logs and find out for real if the pedal was stuck. It's the "black box device" for modern car systems.

To quote the user manual of the 2017 Chevy Equinox:

Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: . How various systems in your vehicle were operating; . Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened; . How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/ or brake pedal; and, . How fast the vehicle was traveling. These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. Note EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

[JUS4SHO]

just take it out of daymode

[Strugglerzinc]

Trini have no business using cruise control.

[tr1ad]

oh mai.
many a lols was had after an emergency or upset, going through plant's SoER(sequence of events recorder)

damage is inconsistent with reported speed.
in any event: shift to n> switch off> brakes> ebrake> grassy stretch> bonx

[Spitfir3]

hit anything at 200 and is goodnight villagers, whatever stress mankind was going through it only gonna get worst from here

This is clearly the safest car in the world. If only it didnt have that cruise control problem.

[pugboy]

Bwahaha

Did airbag go off ?

[agent007]

A small cheap car such as the chevy sonic 1.6 has cruise control to begin with?...and it can achieve 207kmph or 129mph and crash to the extent where damages is a simple nose cut? I taking back my 419k from TTTL for that RAV4 and getting an Equinox 1.5T instead.

[rebound]

So because the car is a Cruise, the man come up with that plan?

So the B12 in the back was going 500km/hr..

Why the fcuk would you switch off the vehicle?

Switching off will only make the brake pedal harder!!! Indicators will not work also. Don't think the steering wheel will lock in neutral tho

Just sayin.. we on page 2 and all..

It won't lock up but would make it stiff.

You never know.
Man probably don't have data/wifi at home and was probably stuck with a VHS copy of SPEED.
And he musbe make the trip everyday and learn all where to dodge and use shoulder.

I feel he got confused after hitting the concrete barrier and 2:07 was the time on the deck clock.
And he is an even bigger "borse" because MANY times on that piece of highway after the last overpass (Papourie Road I feel) cars come driving northbound on the southbound. I have seen this for myself.

Maybe that is how people drive down there, or maybe new drivers and the lack of any PROPER signage in that whole part of the highway, but that is for a different thread.

Point is to stop, engine makes it go.

Okay probably should mash brakes before engine off.

[infinite_RPM]

Is it possible the guy mistake the tripmeter for the speedo..?

[SR]

Every single vehicle in the last 20 years i have driven with cc feature deactivates once you touch the brake pedal. On our local highways southbound who the hell uses cc with the type of traffic conditions we have

[rebound]

I actually use it to enhance my predictive driving skills on the highway and trust me, Trini roads will give you the best challenge

[K74T]

What would Pandora do?

I does use it when people give me lights that the police have speed trap up d road
