Effect of 100km/h to 0km/h on a Golf Mk6 GTD in a second

[Hairy Porter]

My Dad bought a new white car.
He died after two weeks of ownership.

After that I have never bought a white car and take extra care when hiring one.

It's a jinxed colour in my mind.

It doesnt matter what colour a car is if you drive like a kn0b.

They are not called White Van Man for nothing.

Obviously. If a man drives a white van what else are you going to call him.

Enough to send anybody over the edge

Mind it was 100Km/h not mph. I'm not sticking up for them but it looks like a big wide road with 2 possibly 3 lanes.
Don't know what the VW seatbelt warning is like but if its anything like my Mazda it goes off after 60 seconds.

I ran back and forward the quarter-mile to the village shop yesterday, twice.  (Had to take the car because there's a limit to how much cat food, milk and bags of fruit I can load on my bike!)  The twice was because I forgot my wallet.  Frankly, I don't bother with the seat belt for that trip, 2 minutes at less than 20 mph.

Second time of travelling, the musical pinging to say I wasn't wearing the belt didn't happen.  Don't know why.  The dashboard display was lit up, though.

The alarm bell in my Mk5 drives me nuts just because sometimes I place a parcel on the passenger seat.

Surprised. Only takes a second to have an accident.
