So I'm driving MrsBlue to the train station yesterday when we had a bit of a scare. As we approached a couple of cars waiting at a traffic light, our car demonstrated a noticeable reluctance to stop, even though we were going all of about 10 mph. I could feel the anti-lock brakes pumping, but I don't think it was due to the road being slippery, I think it may have been ice on our brakes, but either way, it was a real heart-stopping moment as we came this close (picture me holding my fingers really close together) to tapping the car in front of us as I stood on the brake pedal with both feet. Obviously a collision at that speed would have been trivial (all jokes about the other driver claiming whiplash aside), but that was still far too much excitement for first thing in the morning, or any other time for that matter.
