Re: Malfunction Forward Collision?

The way they test it on tracks is apparently using balloons or a sheet. A friend of mine did a VW track day, and they demonstrated this and drove at a pile of balloons full speed and it stopped every time. When my friend got his go, he drove straight through the balloons without stopping. The instr...

Having said that, my very first Nissan (a primera about 20 years ago), I got a massive stone chip in the windscreen in the 10 minute drive home from th...
