I appreciate this is my own fault, but I’m sharing, to warn other.
This morning, I reached to move the drive selector from “D” to “B” - unfortunately at the very moment, I suddenly sneezed and managed to catch / press the “P button on the end.
The car braked very hard, so much that I was thrown forward. I accept that its my fault, but I’m surprised the car allowed it to happen. I’ve driven cars with auto parking breaks previously and I’m fairly certain they wouldn’t have activated - I know in my last car that if I pressed the park break too soon, it got cross and came up with a message.
Thankfully I was only travelling at about 20, with no one behind, so no real harm done. It could have been very different if I’d been travelling faster.
