Traffic accidents are never fun for anyone, but that doesn’t stop Florida Man from providing an unusual twist to the story.
The as-yet unidentified Florida Man was driving his Nissan Sentra when it crossed a center line and collided with a semi truck.
Under normal circumstances, both drivers would exchange information and wait for the police to arrive. But remember that this is Florida Man we’re talking about.
The truck driver watched in amazement as Florida Man stripped down to just his boxers and ran off into a nearby swamp.
Police and a K-9 officer found Florida Man about a mile into the swamp where they placed him under arrest.
As you can imagine, Florida Man faces a number of charges and could be looking at some pretty serious jail time as well.
5 New Car Features People Struggle With The Most
Nowadays, it seems like car manufactures and designers are putting more and more features in new cars. Sometimes, it’s to make the car sleeker in appearance or give the car or give the driver more benefits with their vehicle. Many drivers can become intimidated or overwhelmed by the technology of cars. From cruise control and assisted parking to Bluetooth connection and more.
In a poll by SWNSDigital.com, they found the top new car features people struggle with the most. They gathered their data by polling 500 car owners with vehicles less than two years old. The results showed 20 pieces of technology in a car that “baffle modern car owners.”
According to the poll, 68 percent of the “struggle to get to grips with everything.” While 40 percent don’t believe they’re using their car to its full potential. Also found in the research, is that it took about six months for 55 percent to discover their car came with certain features.
Dr Martha Newson, cognitive psychologist who facilitated the consumer study said they proved that over half of drivers are missing out on the full experience of their vehicle. “With any car purchase being one of life’s bigger spends, drivers should take more time understanding the tech available at their fingertips, so they don’t miss out on safer, more comfortable and more pleasurable experiences, every time they get in the car,” said Newson.
The feature that most people feel that they aren’t using happens to be cruise control. It’s been around for quite some time. Surprisingly, at the bottom of the list is blind-spot alert, massage seats, and 360-degree cameras. Some may find features like a heated steering wheel, remote engine start, and climate control easy.
Here are 5 new car features people struggle with the most.
Lane Assist

It provides automatic steering to continually center the vehicle in its lane. Sometimes, lane assist can be confused by unusual road layouts or faded or obscured road markings. This means that the driver can be falsely warned of moving from the lane.
Sport Mode

This feature promises to enhance the performance of even the most average cars, but many people don't know how to use the feature or understand it.
Connecting Different Bluetooth Devices
Share
Some drivers may lack knowledge or understanding of how to connect their devices. People may have concerns about the security or privacy of a Bluetooth connection. Perhaps, a person may not use their phone for calls or music while driving, making the connection unnecessary.
Assisted Parking

Some drivers may like they don't need parking assistance. According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), they found nearly eight in 10 American drivers are confident in their parallel parking abilities.
Cruise Control

Some motorists may not know that their car has cruise control, while others may be hesitant to use it due to concerns about safety or a lack of understanding of how it works. Also, some drivers may prefer to have more control over their speed and distance from other cars on the road.
