Vaxhaull Insignia

[srobrien]

I was following one of these today and when he was (obviously) riding up someone elses arse he had to pull and emergency stop when the car infront braked. When he did it all the brake lights and hazards at the rear started flashing knightrider stylee, such a good idea. I've nver seen this before but it totally got my attention and i suppose that was the point so they worked really well. Tried to find a video of it but obviously no one is sad enough to have posted one up. More cars should have this feature.

I believe it was on the Merc S-Class first (like most things), and agree that it's a pretty good idea. Definitely wakes you up when following!

Come on this is Vauxhall that happens all the time to them - crap electrics!!

 

Usually a brake light flashes when the indicator does that's common on them too

I think the Insignia is quite an imposing car; especially in black

Quite nice to drive aswell. I had one a few months ago when I killed my Vectra. Quite a nice interior for a Vauxhall aswell

Most recent BMW's have this as a safety feature IIRC

Yep i was on a trackday and a guy with one of those big peugot CC things had this feature... we thought he was a spaz flapping at the controls on the hairpin, but he said it was a feature.

 

Should be mandatory on all cars though... good idea.

Cant you get a module to modify the 350z's ones to do the same?

 

Seem to remember there was one on ebay recently I think..

my fiesta ST used to do this, when braking really hard it brings on all the light, you could turn it off tho as it was too sensitive, when driving hard!!

yeah it would be a bit dippit to have that feature on a car you were going to take on track - your back end would be a permanent xmas tree

[janz70]

would have thought it would have to be disabled on the track
