No one should ever turn the tc off on the streets. 90% of these accident threads start with someone turning off the tc for zero reason. I slide around easily with tc fully on. You have zero clue what could be on the road around that corner. Could be oil like one member found on a road he always drove on and because he turned the tc off he had zero chance and rolled his car. Could be sand or any other substance. Could be a young kid who has no idea how to drive yet turns it off because everyone says they should because it is safe.'
The only thing anyone does when they turn the tc off is make themselves a danger to themselves and everyone around them. And no, I don't need it. I've dailyed a 85 Caddy sedan de ville and I use to love drifting an old Ford v8 conversion fan for the hell of it. I always keep it on because there is no idea what will be around that next turn, and better safe than dead.
