also now there are so many sensors at the front of the car he can't fit a proper bull bar so next roo he hits is probably going to destroy the car (he does 100,000km a year on country roads)

Wow.
I could see this being a real problem with over dimension loads.
What do you do now, pull over and come to a complete stop and wait for the truck to pass?
What happens if you need to overtake and have to move onto the gravel shoulder?
A rear trailer on a road train kicks out and you need to steer off the shoulder to avoid.
All very common scenarios in the Nth West.
I'm pleased to hear this can be disabled, but it seems a trap for unsuspecting players. Certainly the first time I've heard of it.
