I was recently in the Uk and one of the cars I was in would alert the driver if he was over the speed limit. Fair enough. But the alert itself is distracting. Are we to review every single alert from these cameras? Is that not just another distraction?

if you watch European car enthusiast review videos, they nearly all start by showing what's required to disable all of the nannies.

They’re almost always wrong too, so they just beep at you for going over 50 when you’re in a 90 zone

There’s usually some kind of short cut action to disable that for the car. In a Mercedes you hold the volume down button in the steering wheel for 3 seconds and it “updates settings” which is basically disabling that annoying feature.
