On one car forum I read someone has just posted this...
" Okay here's the issue....I don't like the brakes of the Fabia and never have but never made anything of it until today...why?? Because I had a tiny accident today...I hit my girlfriend's car from behind on a bridge...her Pug 206 sustained no damage, but my plate bent in and the bumper has come off alignment..nothing major at all...point is, the brakes are crap, and given the distance I was at my car should have stopped easy to avoid hitting her.
I figure if I'm gonna keep the car for quite a while, I should upgrade because they are completely sh*t. I've had three to four frontal accidents from the time I bought the car and I blame alot of it on the poor brakes....funny enough, I've never been hit in the rear. "
A few people pointed out that he might want to try leaving a bit more gap and got this as a reply
" I've had a very rough day and I have all of you telling me how I drive???
To hell with this. There is nothing wrong with my driving, and I always keep a safe distance. Like I said, to hell with this. I should have sought help from more useful people who think before smacking people down. I WAS in a safe distance. "
Clearly it *must* be the brakes as there is nothing wrong with his atbreastude or driving..... -- Alex
