Nice to have this failure at that speed.

I just hope it's an early indicator that went off and the system still works 100%...

Give the poor guy some credit.. he was trying to make it over to the shop as quickly as possible as the message said: "Visit Workhop".. The question is - could he stop once he got there???

Mind you, if he was doing that speed towards the workshop with duff brakes, he'd stop one way or another.
