You probably didn't know but BA Falcons produced from May onwards are fitted with anti intrusion pedals. This is basically a replacement pedal box and decoupler to minimise potential lower limb injury in severe impacts.
As an innovation it is to be applauded - but it is one that should have appeared with the first build BA rather than well into the production cycle.
Raises the question as to why it wasn't?
The official line has it that this is one of the benefits handed down from the LWB models. This sounds very reasonable until a quick look at the timing is taken. Funnily enough the introduction happened at the same time as the ANCAP test was due. This is either a very nice accidental piece of timing or a deliberate one. I wonder which?
Till next time.
