Anyone use PDC while in bumper to bumper traffic?

When I'm under 20 mph and in Midtown Manhattan, Brooklyn South i use PDC to see how close others come to my car especially if i'm double parked!

I think i'm gonna cut holes in my Colgan bumper bra so my front PDC will work!

i've never done this during traffic but i think it'll be kind of irritating with the beeps . btw, heavy rain also triggers the pdc .

My thoughts exactly, What i really want is the OEM forward split view camera and rear camera as well as the TV function in the German home market accessories catalog! :winkcool:

By the way i would like to add a rear bra or Clear Bra or both to my rear bumper to keep those bumper kissers at bay!

Maybe even an OEM BMW trailer hitch to boot!

I used it to stay on the bumper of the car in front, so nobody was able to sneak-in in that heavy stop-and-go traffic I got stuck in today.

Hey that's a good idea! It can also be used to keep panhandling squeegee men at arm's length

Clear Bra wont help... if they kiss your ass they've cracked your bumper so replacement is probably in need already. :'(

If it wasn't fast it's no problem.

Well it should help when someone parallel parks into me or god forbid i get lightly "tapped" right?

I guess it's better than nothing at all.
