My everyday drive was a 2cv, for 25+ years until relatively recently. For one reason or another mine went slightly better than standard but, driven with appreciation, even the unmodified 602cc 2cv is no slouch. I came to the conclusion that the public perception was entirely otherwise and this tempted drivers to hurl themselves from side streets and roundabouts into one's path, either because they had underestimated the speed of the 2cv's approach (vide Father Ted, "This one is small but this one is far away") or because of a terror that they might be delayed behind a "slow" car.
Luckily Citroen brakes are excellent.
I agree that it happens to a lesser extent with the Sevens* for reasons that elude me. Having said that, no cause for complacency!

Stuart
