This sounds like it'd be a good way to lose your license in the future, and maybe have a criminal court case if there was an significant accident that could have been prevented by said features you disabled.

I'm guessing you haven't died from polluted drinking water, contaminated food, fake medicines, smog, unsafe vehicles, unsafe roads, dangerous household goods, lethal home wiring, shoddily constructed housing, or any of the other hundreds of things that laws have improved?
Goalposts moved.
I’ll never drive a car that in any way takes control of the steering or brakes. Full stop. If I need to modify the car to disable that feature, I will.
At least I’m honest about it.
Pass all the laws in the name of good ideas for the children. If I disagree with it, I’m not going to obey it. I’m not unique in this.
I’m fucking tired of being told “I’m smarter than you and this is actually in your best interest, trust me.”
Did you know that child labor actually increased in India after laws that tried to eliminate child labor?
Let’s keep patting ourselves on the back that we can feel good about passing laws though.
I quote: "It’s so funny to me that people think just because a law is passed, that fixes problems."
I gave you a whole bunch of problems that have been fixed by passing laws.

I did not. Which law are we talking about? 1948, 1952, 1986 or 2009?
Only criminals need to modify their car.
Now accept our integrated telemetry gathering that reports directly to LexisNexis so insurance companies can raise your rates [0].
Surely you understand, think of the children!
