Research has proved driving standards have dropped as many motorists rely on modern vehicle gadgetry and believe they'll get them out of trouble. This encourages lazy driving standards.
Even my eldest a few years back couldn't drive my daughters 1972 VW 1303S as he couldn't cope without power steering and servo assisted brakes, it's now worse than ever. Modern vehicles even increase the engine revs when taking away from rest..... What is that all about? My late Panda has start stop, has an uprated starter and AGM battery. People bleat on about how the starter will wear out, funny my VW T4 van did nearly 300,000 miles on the original starter and many Octavia Taxis on even more with start stop and the original starter motor.
No matter if you don't use it when the battery fails it'll still need to be coded to the ECU with its type CCA and other details. Modern tech.. No thanks.
