    Every car registered for the road in the EU after July 7 2024 has to have the warning system. Only cars which were registered in the EU before that date are allowed to not have the system.

      Don’t know what to tell you, it is registered on 2025. Brand new. I have never experienced that. The tucson I tried had it but it was able to be changed in the sttings.

      I am in favour of safety rules progressing but the EU has made me want to buy an old car and convert to electric. The new driver cameras is a no no for me.

        Would you tell me the Kia model and the year it was built? I’m very curious about this now.

        In general, I believe it’s a stupid EU rule, too. Of course I have nothing against safety, but I find all those beeps and bongs and steering wheel corrections that modern cars have much more distracting than helpful. At least there should be a tolerance (like 10% haha) for the speed warning. But maybe this Tesla case initiates a discussion about this, who knows.
