I didn't drive it myself so maybe they could tell you their exact experiences with it, but I thought it was pretty neat since it was probably had the highest simplicity to benefit ratio of a secondary mechanism I've seen in a while.

We copied this in 2013 and 2014.

In 2013 it worked great for us.

In 2014 we were forced to place it on our heavy side and it didn't work as well.
