Frightening experience on the M6 this afternoon - overtaking a truck, I was in the middle lane, came up behind another car and dabbed the brakes slightly to shed speed. I merely tapped the brake pedal and it seemed to shoot to the floor and full braking force was applied. I can only think the BAS somehow activated, but the pedal pressure was incredibly light so it clearly shouldn;t have happened. Gave me the shock of my life - from travelling round a corner at the national limit, on the raised section of the motorway (past Birmingham) the violence of it literally launched me out of my seat and made be headbutt the sun visor, and I was wearing my seatbelt btw. Anyone had a similar experience of BAS coming on when it shouldn't? Very worrying! Not to mention dangerous partway through a corner on a damp motorway with HGVs all around...
