I don’t use it. I used to years ago, but never installed it again after deleting the app.

I’ve Googled it & found out what “woke” means.

Was driving along the other day and a Focus RS decided it wanted to play, left him standing and that was in comfort mode!

Definitely not a granddad car….

Please advise. I've tried, but I'm none the wiser.

PS. What's the stereotype for Tesla driver? Had a test-drive in one the other day - holy cr@p! What a game-changer. Will be ordering one to replace Mrs SCW's V40 tout de suite.

PPS. 20-year old son will inherit the V40 - pretty sure he's not a grandad.

According to Wikipedia;

“Woke is a term, originating in the United States, that originally referred to awareness about racial prejudice and discrimination. It subsequently came to encompass an awareness of other issues of social inequality, for instance regarding gender and sexual orientation.”

I'm normally quite a "relaxed" driver but on the M25 J8, which is a very long and uphill exit lane, a BMW something or other was driving up my arse.

It's a two lane exit so I thought "why don't you just overtake?"

He didn't so I just put my foot down and left him for dust!

I have a C70 D5 that has been remapped.

It was a bit childish I know but it made me smile.

And yet some here use it as an insult.

Always worth asking what people mean when they throw that word around, as most of the time they haven't got a clue! Then tell you to look it up...

At least I admitted I didn’t know what it meant.
