That’s a shame. Although living in that van all those years probably didn’t help.

Great news. Keeps all the southern wankers from coming up to the lake district and complaining that it’s wet there…

The comments read like a lot of people don’t quite understand the issue.

The bonnet (hood if you insist) latch may not warn a driver if it isn’t secured correctly. If it is secured correctly then it is fine. So it isn’t going to suddenly open.

If the latch isn’t shut correctly and then the sensor doesn’t report this then the bonnet may open unexpectedly.

If they can use a software update to correct the reporting then that’s it fixed.

There’s no issue with the actual latching mechanism. It’s just the sensor for reporting the latching state.

It may be that it currently works on a two value system. i.e a value for correctly latched and a value for not latched. If that’s the case and isn’t just not providing the second valve correctly then a simple software change to only use the latched value would fix this. As any other value or the absence of a value will report it at unlatched.

It’s quite an achievement to be a drug taking dickhead for nearly 40 years!

Are the cuts from packaging different then?

Never heard of cardboard cuts…

Only if they didn’t report such a message/activity and fully cooperate.

My understanding is that if you are party to things like this and don’t take the required action then you are liable to this wider definition of making.

So you are essentially complicit in the making of them because you didn’t try and stop/report it in a timely manner.

Happens with loads of other stuff like murders, terror, theft etc… Basically if you know about serious crimes and don’t take any action. Then you can be found guilty of a very similar offence as the people who committed the exact offence.

It’s fucking laminated as well!

Must have needed to make sure no one defaced it and changed the meaning.

Yeah but does anyone call them that? I’d still call that kind of fine cut a paper cut.

Never heard anyone say “ow I’ve got a cardboard cut”
