Alarms are useless?
Hi,
I heard on the radio today that a member of parlament in England is introducing a law that would BAN car alarms. He claims (and I agree) that they just make noise and that most of the times (because they go off all the time) people do not pay attention to them.
Instead, he wants cars that are sold in UK to have satellite tracking (i.e. Lo-Jack) and/or advanced engine immobilizers and/or paging alarms standard.
Personally I think most alarms are crap. I use LawMan's unbreakable Brake Club (the club that makes it impossible to depress the brake - thus put the car in Park or drive it). I also have Lo Jack.
I think all cars should have (at least newly sold ones) lo jack and advance immobilizing systems (which I guess new Hondas have).
