keep in mind that with the current state of technology in ECUs and black boxes, if you are ever involved in an accident, the fact that you had TC or VSC disabled will likely be discoverable evidence. It might be used as indicia of your contributory negligence and result in you being convicted of a crime, losing a civil case or being denied insurance coverage. I hear you guys that say "I can drive better with my X years of experience than the nanny can", but imagine what a typical jury will think. This young (or old) fool turned off his safety aids and got into an accident -- GUILTY. Sorry but America is too litigious these days.

Those of you in Australia, UK, Asia, or where ever.. have at it.
