    CAR TALK: Lane departure warnings are annoying, but helpful
    Most cars have setting where you can select how you want to be notified when you drift toward the edge of your lane. You can have the steering correct itself and nudge you back to the center, you can opt for an audible warning (but then all of your passengers know how badly you’re driving), or on some cars, you can have the seat vibrate. You may be more comfortable with one of those other options. iSTOCK/COX
