THERE WERE NO BARS FOR A SAFETY MARGIN. NO LIGHTS OR INDICATORS DISPLAY ON DASHBOARD FOR REASON OF DECELERATION. NORMALLY IF I AM CLOSE TO A PERSON WHO IS TURNING OFF THE ROAD, SENSORS MAY DETECT THAN AND FLASH BRAKE ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS SAME BRAKING WHEN A PERSON TURNED HAS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE CITY ROAD WESTBOUND .THAT VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING ME, A 4 LANE WIDE STREET.
