Quite so.
I can't resist the temptation though to point out that modern cars ain't what they used to be. An increasing number of cars now have electronic gadgets which 'assist' the average driver to apply heavier brake applications than were realistically possible in the recent past (e.g. higher than 1g under favourable circs). Not only that but they will identify an approaching 'hazard' (correctly, one hopes) and apply the brakes automatically on his/ her behalf. This is seriously worth taking into account during one's daily commute down the bypass, not just when blowing the cobwebs off the A7.
p.s. I think we'd have to concede Reckless that just because the Ruby's brakes are coupled doesn't necessarily mean it's braking on all 4 wheels!
