I never said that VSC is incapable of assisting in the prevention of accidents, so you did put those words there, not me. My ORIGINAL point was that people who attack others for daring to turn the nannies off, as you have done to me, should get off their soapbox and realize that said nannies aren't perfect, nor are you perfect, preaching from your pulpit of driving lordship.
But you're more than welcome to attack me instead of facing the fact of what I actually said: Traction control is not a magical anti-crash device. Does it keep some people from getting into certain kinds of accidents? Yes. Does it keep most people from getting themselves into situations where they could wreck? Yes. Does shutting it off on public roads increase your likelihood of certain types of accidents? Sure. Do the people that turn traction control off on public roads all think they're ricky-racer? No. Please stop demonizing people who turn SOME of the driving aids off, it makes you looks foolish.
There are diehards in both camps, but the beauty of the system is: you can do whatever you want to with it, if you screw up, you get to pay the consequences.
And while you're making wild assumptions about my driving skill or habits, I'll let you in on a little secret. I leave all the nannies on because my commute is on boring straight city roads, and I haven't had this car long enough to get used to how it handles yet.
But I'm just a teenage boy-racer who doesn't know how to drive and is more likely to spin out and crash into other cars on the road because I have no self-control and am a danger to all other motorists, so I wash my hands of this discussion.
