Was it a wind up?
« on: 04 June 2015, 18:43:33 »
Mate of mine told me he'd been working on a 15 plate Skoda Octavia which had a radar behind the front grille,now that bit I can believe as part of a parking aid and/or anti collision device,but he also said it was fitted with a post collision braking system.Was he winding me up?What is the point of applying the brakes after you've had the accident?

All new cars have to be fitted with anti collision braking systems as of 2015 i was told recently , perhaps it is this that you have seen.
