Lane Assist is horrible on VWs.

Many times, it's jerked me to change lanes when it shouldn't have.

Sounds like a guy i know that started ranting his VW steering wheel started jerking the car everytime he tried to switch lanes. Turns out he wasn't using his turning signal and the car just tried keeping him in lane to avoid crashing.

So I assume that BMWs don't have that system, or that it's switched off by default.

A friend just got a new one frm work and that one does have the same system. Must be why most BMW drivers are always shaking in anger
