Default the "turn left slower!" warning

Premiss:
When I drive home from work i recently started to put my sun visor down, against the driver side door.

Causation:
There are two wide left turns I get to take at reasonable speeds; a few times I have pushed this reasonable speed and my sun visor has slapped me in the head.

Result:
The "turn left slower!" warning.



Anyone else experience this? I'm beginning to notice it more and more; actually I've been playing around with how fast I need to enter specific turns to cause my visor to move.

Maybe I'm going crazy; maybe I'm just trying to wake this forum up... :run:

Its going to happen b/c there is nothing holding to the left side, and on the shaft of the sunvisor there is only a little spring that puts some tension on it to hold it in postion. You can either rig up a holding system, or move it b4 a left turn. I think its cool that you are making it into a science project, "see how much turning force is need to move a sunvisor from it at rest position."

I haven't experienced this, mainly because I never put my visor to the side like that. h:

What's the spec on that?

i should get a g meter and find out the force required to break the coefficient of friction :chuckles:
