Wait until you're past the bumps?

Errr… with the state of our roads, I’d have to drive into Europe so that I can get past the bumps

There are bumps, and then there are Tesla Model Y bumps.

Feels sometimes like they upgraded me to massage seats.

I dont think that is a very nice remark in modern times. However, you might find that there is more than what you think even after brexit.

Brexit! What a sad day. Still, on the upside, Boris won us £350million a week for the NHS ..... didn't he?.

No-one in their right mind would agree that moving to a touchscreen for nearly all driveable functions including essential ones like 'AC', Emergency SoS, wiper speeds etc etc - was an intelligent move by the OEM's.
Probably tolerable if that screen was front and centre of your line of sight but not offset!
Anyway - "games' over".

"Carmakers that are increasingly forcing motorists to use dashboard touchscreens for basic driving functions such as checking speed and adjusting mirrors will be penalised under rules designed to stop motorists from becoming dangerously distracted"

Car industry told to dial back use of touchscreens

Drivers are often forced to look away from the road to access basic driving functions

By January 2025 - OEM's will be given the 'option' (not mandatory) to think again about where they put their essential controls. And if they don't match Euor NCAP's template - that new car will atuomatically NOT get a 5 star rating.

Common sense prevails.
