The Edge has been spanked repeatedly for its poor performance in braking tests, and justifiably so, since relative to others in its class, its achievement in this area is less than impressive. (Bad Edge - go to your room!) But when it comes to matters such as this, there's nothing like a real-life emergency situation to add a sense of perspective. This morning, just such a situation presented itself.
I was coming in to work...
Some guy in a commercial truck suddenly pulled into my lane, without using his indicator. I didn't think there was a blind spot big enough to swallow the Edge, but apparently I was wrong, for this man was without a clue. I was forced to to slam on the brakes, and guess what? The Edge came through pretty nicely. By "pretty nicely," I mean I didn't wind up a pretzel wrapped round this guy's bumper. And you know, when you think about it, that really is the best that one could hope for in a circumstance like that.
Edge, buddy, you're alright with me.
