Volkswagen Tiguan, 'Lane Assist' the ghost in the machine!

imagine a so-called safety feature, that you have no idea is fitted to your car. You are driving along and arterial road or a motorway and your car suddenly decides it's going to lurch one way or another, for all the world as though some kind of unseen forces taken charge of it. Welcome to the not so fun-aplenty world of Volkswagen "Lane Assist." It's scary when your car seems to have developed a mind of its own and it scared the living daylights out of my wife! This is a feature that you cannot permanently turn off. If you can be bothered to fiddle about with the unnecessarily convoluted internal menu system, of the car, then you can turn the lane nanny off every time you get in the car and want to drive anywhere. As you might expect, you can complain to Volkswagen until you're blue in the face and this will probably get you nowhere at all. However, I couldn't resist toying with some imagery, ending up by conflating two well-known images together (see below)!
