Hill assist as handicapped me more than helped me in my opinion. It would be great if just a bit more subtle.

Did anyone think to use the E brake it's real easy just to hold the button on the E brake and pull the handle.

I swear though, it's like people do it on purpose to screw with you... "Hey look! There's a Camaro, let's go try and kiss his bumper, and if he drives stick, it his fault if he hits us!!!>" I wish I had a semi truck, id really lay into them!

if it's at a traffic light you just wait till it goes yellow, then the second it turns red peel off. that always gets them

So have I over the last 20 some years, unfortunately HSA has taken that skill and thrown it right out the window for us. I really can't believe there are people that actually appreciate HSA. I can't see how it would even help a beginner and I would never want to learn on a car with it. The minute you get into a car without it then I think you will be screwed. |

There really is no need. Hold car on handbrake, then to set off, feed in the gas, release the clutch, and as that starts to bite, release the handbrake. It isn't rocket science, assuming you are furnished with two hands, feet, and a brain.

Hill Assist should be renamed Lack of Skill Nanny.

The same can be said for backup sensors and rear view cameras.
Luckily, hill assist is just software that was added to the ABS and Stability controls you already pay for, so it doesn't add to the cost of the car like backup nannies that replace driver skill and attention. |

People seem to give you a bit more room if you do the following.
while a car is approaching you take your foot off the brake a roll back a little, they tend to stop earlier and not ride up your a$$. it works most of the time. |

It's nice to be able to roll back intentionally. They may not even be sure it wasn't themselves creeping forward against their own brakes not being applied hard enough. Norm |
