Yes, some argue that reversiing lights are only to let others know that you are reversing. Whilst the legislation may say that (I haven't checked) commonsense and experience would say otherwise as it's important to be able to see going backwards as well as going forwards. When going forwards we now have cornering foglight so they think that aids safety and yet when reversing it's woeful. The front fog lights have to be designed as not to blind oncoming traffic so reversing lights could be designed the same.

The ideal solution would (as years ago!) be to have additional brighter reversing lights that would be used onlynwhen appropriate, like fog lights are. But the authorities and manufacturers wouldn't like drivers making their own decisions and judgements as we are increasingly seeing.

As said, it wouldn't be as bad if the lights were as bright as other cars and they have to meet the legislation.

As I've said before, do some of these "designers" actually drive!

I'm up in deepest Northumberland and Google Maps has given a verbal Speed Camera warning with Speed Limit at every camera. I'm impressed!
Also, has anyone noticed that if you click into a specific journey in the Apps Driving Journal it gives you the Duration, Distance, Fuel Used and MPG for that specific journey.

No, I hadn't noticed that detail in the Driving Journal, interesting.

Has Google done an update to provide that additional camera info?

And the MPG is correct!
Google Maps have rolled out the Speed Camera functionality across all platforms. Picks up mobile cameras as well.

I’ve had the driving journal data and the speed camera data for months. Nothing new here.

People shouldn’t get hung up on what’s in each release, they should be more concerned at the rate these enhancement .fixed come through. I’m actually glad not to have a 2024 model, there are a worryingly high number of ‘fices’

Just had my early MY24 serviced, and has been updated to 3.3.16. Android Auto appears in the settings, but can't check as only have iOS devices to hand. Also, DAB radio stations now have pretty pictures in the radio app!

Aside from pretty pictures, does radio still work after update. 😂😂

The one time so far I asked Google to play Radio 4 it ignored DAB and went to FM, but at least it was the correct station! So maybe an improvement?
