“I dont own a 2017 Mini Clubman, but was driving behind one on the interstate. I ended up almost rear ending the Clubman when traffic came to a sudden stop because the brake lights are the small lights on the bumper that can be easily confused as rear fog lights/reflectors instead of the big red lights on the rear doors. Thankfully nothing happened as the forward collision systems in my vehicle kicked in and prevented the crash. …”
