the article says that it’s more difficult to use this turn signal in the roundabout ( as the button is on the wheel so its position shifted along with the steering wheel, as opposed to the static position of the stalk ) and the driver has to shift a part of their attention to locate the button
The person who found this also ask other instructors and they agreed, that’s why they’re not buying this model
but IMO
if I’m a ownwer of a driving school looking to buy new cars for students, I’d pick more generic one too. Students would prefer to learn how to operate most cars than a specific model.
Like how most music school would prefer normal guitar than double neck guitar
My kids’ driving school has cars without a backup cam. I don’t know if that’s intentional or just older cars, but I believe it’s a better choice to learn how to drive without that assistance
I taught my son in my father’s Mustang instead of my (much) newer car. Yes traction control, but no shift indicator, no telling you what gear it thinks you should be in, no holding the brake on a hill, no automatic releasing of the parking brake, no lane keep assist and no backup camea.
Yeah, unfortunately all our cars are all wheel drive with traction control, antilock brakes and hill hold. All have backup cams, cross traffic warnings, and nothing that needs to be shifted while driving.
My teen’s first car will be my old Subaru, which is pretty well loaded , and difficult to lose traction with. I do wish I had something more basic for them to learn on. We’re supposed to get snow this weekend so hopefully I’ll be able to have them drive in slippery conditions
