2024 Legacy Sport, disable steering wheel locking during intentional lane departure?
I get the main point of the steering wheel locking is to force the car to remain in the lane in case the driver is unaware, but it seems like the camera doesn't recognize when I'm intentionally going out of the lane, usually to give bikers or parked cars clearance, avoiding a road issue, or in the case of my wife borrowing the car this weekend, going through a construction zone where they used orange posts to redirect traffic into another lane. She had to fight with the steering wheel before the car allowed here to 'drift' into the other lane.
*After post edit: I should note that some of the events were emergency swerves, one recent event was due to a bicyclist swerving to avoid something, forcing me to make an unplanned lane departure, and thinking to use the turn signal isn't the first thing in my mind, so telling to use, as one responder so delicately said, "Use the fucking turn signal" isn't helpful in these moments.
Shouldn't the camera be able to see these things and not fight with the driver for steering wheel control? Is there a way we can temporarily disable the steering wheel lock without disabling eye sight if we know we're coming up to a known area where the white lane markers are likely to be useless? Summer and fall is when just about every road jurisdiction does their road projects, and it's insane that I need to fight with eyesight for control of the steering wheel.
