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.

..still don't think traction control is the issue here...the issue is decision making on public roads..if someone is
trying to hoon like in op's case, TC being on or off ain't going to save him..he took a corner too fast, TC ain't going to correct his speed.. TC's best use case is to save drivers who aren't trying to lose traction. As for what is "safe", I think people can be capable of making calculated risks. I pass a roundabout during my commute and when I don't see any pedestrians or other cars, I sometimes hoon around it...send me to hell
I agree, there are clearly limits when doing such things but don't act like everyone is some careless dumbass..
