Silly me stopped at the traffic lights the other day and drove of with my handbrake still on! It must have only been on ever so slightly, after about 5 seconds a warning buzzer came on, as if I had left my lights on when you park your car. I just looked down at the dash a seen the handbrke light on so I imediatley undone the handbrake! But hey if it wasnt for the buzzer I would have drove all the way home 15 miles and suddenly realise when I tried to stopped that I would have had no brakes! Anyway cheers VW thanks for making the polo for us idiots! :D

At least it saved your brakes from futher damage, most cars just have the light and no sound!
