Can you do that or does the technology stop you ?So why not just turn it off and coast to a stop... even if he hit the armco or verge.?
Lot to be said about having a lever you can pull with a cable at the end of it , Even the Bentley has an electronic handbrake you cant engage whilst the car is moving , Alas 4200/and gransport handbrakes were always shite at the best of times even from newCan you do that or does the technology stop you ?
Must try that this weekend in the Zoe….. not the Armco bit.So why not just turn it off and coast to a stop... even if he hit the armco or verge.?
My uncle is an insurance specialist for guide dogs for the blind. I don’t know how much of an issue this was until he described all the crazy cases to me.In all seriousness, electric cars are proving to be a real problem for guide dogs, something needs to be done, on the other hand when we are blasting around Exmoor in our V8's and V12's and the ramblers stand there with their fingers in their ears, it's quite a good retort 'Well madam, would you rather we drove around in silent electric cars, because you wouldn't know to get out of the way until you were underneath our cars, at least you can hear us now, and know it would be prudent to move'
Probably but in a motorway, as mentioned you would hit the verge or central reservation and cars slow down pretty quickly with no power.Probably lose steering if you turned thr ignition off, if it let you.

Since 2018 all EVs and Hybrid have to have a noise emitter that makes a noise below 30mph, above that the tyre noise is enough.My uncle is an insurance specialist for guide dogs for the blind. I don’t know how much of an issue this was until he described all the crazy cases to me.
Exactly their system, having the equity or abilty to borrow vast sums and buy in bulk at huge discounts , they effectively dont have to hire a single vehicle , most companies have to keep them 6 months I believe before they can be resoldOne thing many don't realise about hire car companies is I understand most of their revenues/profit comes from buying/selling cars than car hire.
So they buy new vehicles direct from the manufacturer at say 50% discount to list. Run them for a year say and gure as much as they can. Then sell at a profit. So the more they buy and sell the better.
Feels like Hertz was another huge scam with many questions when they went pop. Allegedly absolved and wrote off all their huge debts, wiped out most shareholder's , a new co was setup to transfer assets to also to buy the name/brand to continue as if nothing happened. Just that many ended up losing billions. Same old same old.
