What a bodge. :o

If it wasn't a serious problem previously it will be a popular party-trick with passengers now the cat's out of the bag. ;D

<mental note to give Citroens an even wider berth than previously> ;D

Reminds me of my first car - Austin Allegro with Instructor controls on the passenger side (previously owned by my Granddad who was a driving instructor for many, many years)..

Yes, passengers regularly found it hilarious to perform an emergency stop..

I wonder if I can do it in SWMBO's Panda because I can feel something moving under my feet when she brakes :-/

Would be great fun on a private road but the thought of that happening driving down the motorway is terrifying :o :o I suppose the only good thing is that the brake lights do illuminate

Quite a few smaller cars have that although they are a sod to get at!

The C3 looks easy to access.

Might ask him if I can borrow it!  [smiley=evil.gif]

Seriously though as a regular passenger in Jimbobs car I can see the appeal of passenger braking! :P
