Gave both cars a good clean inside and out. Took me bloody ages as I’m so bad at it...

Was just driving coast bound on the M20 with my ACC on and as is usual on that motorway someone decided to pull out on me without much notice. The radar did its job and slowed me down but it was quite sharpish...

It got me wondering if the brake lights come on when using it? Anyone know? It scrubbed off a good 20mph of speed, if there was anyone behind me they would have had to have been paying attention if the brake lights don’t come on... bit dodgy if they don’t.

I wondered this today! Mine nose dived from 60 to 15 and I didn't see any red light glow behind me in the car behind.

Brake lights definitely work.

Not sure if they flash when you brake sharply.

I thought under heavy braking the brake lights come on and hazard warning lights flash.

They defiantly do. If I’m ever in that situation and wait for the front assist radar to kick in then I’ve probably already crashed

Whats this breaking lark, I just have BBK because it looks cool.

I have seen the emergency lights come on after heavy breaking on the Autocar Cupra vs Golf video but never seen it personally but there are guys who have said it works.

Unless you code them out in vcds. :whistle:.

If the brake lights didn't come on, that would be a massive design flaw.
