Not in fact Mr C. Even if one is perfect, the light is bright green and not off, and unlike all other cockpit lights does not appear to dim when external lights are selected.

Quite right Teeters. It makes you wonder if the designers (and supporters) of such systems have ever driven along an unlit road at night - let alone been anywhere near a cockpit!

BEagle - Ford Fiesta with the smallest diesel engine available. Engine felt like it was seriously straining at 75 mph. Overtaking HGV's cruising at 56 mph took forever and it didn't take long for a line of faster cars (with irate drivers) to build up behind me during such manouvres. Of course, the safety minded may suggest that I should have stayed with the HGV's at 56 mph but in the real world....
