Certainly stopped from the ~5MPH that I was doing pretty instantaneously! It gave a 'city-safety activated' message (or whatever the words were), & I was able to then complete the parking manoeuvre. It was a bit of a shock.

So I guess it works, & I'll have to be gentler getting into the drive in future.

Don't live in my house do you Tim? I had exactly the same thing happen, I could've written that post!
