I'd defy most people with much experience making the corrections themselves to simply sit by and let the electronics do it all for them. Not "in the moment" where the choice to do nothing yourself would have to be the result of conscious thought to go against what you'd have programmed yourself to do. Which takes time that you wouldn't feel that you had to spare. Letting ABS do its thing in a straight or mostly straight line is one thing; you'd still be mentally ready to make any course corrections yourself.Also, assuming you decide not to do any corrective maneuvers and to just let the electronics do their job, should you be braking, or not? If you don't touch any pedals, then the ESC will selectively brake each wheel to correct your trajectory, whereas if you stepped on the brakes all four wheels would brake at the same time. Or wouldn't they?
I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question. Exactly what do you have to do in a traction loss situation with an ESC-equipped car?
the laws of physics are not arguable no matter what some sensor geek and numskull programmer might think.will start to not push the car on cold nights never thought it could happen with traction control on.
If you know how to use the throttle & brake properly then your nannies should never come on in the first place. The only feature I'm grateful for is ABS on the street, due to varying conditions whereas at the track it's controlled conditions more or less so you need not rely on ABS. My buddies always tell me' yeah man.. then advancetrac kicked in and saved my ass', I tell em 'Nannies don't make you a good driver, if you were, then you wouldn't have needed it.' Anyways, if your doing stupid schitt, no amount of technology will save your arse. Just my opinion.After seeing that, I have no idea why anyone would want to turn off stability control while driving on a regular road.
So, in other words, everyone should keep it on because if they dont need it, it wont kick in. And if they do need it, it will kick in and possibly save lives. Telling people to just turn everything off is irresponsible in my opinion. These cars NA in dragmode can rip tires loose in 80 degree weather from 50 to 80 mph easily, people should just keep advancetrac on its not invasive in these cars.If you know how to use the throttle & brake properly then your nannies should never come on in the first place.

Never told everybody to turn it off. I really don't care if they do or don't. But it makes for good car and coffee vids vids when they turn just the TC off to be youtube superstars.Telling people to just turn everything off is irresponsible in my opinion
The crashes are when they turn both the TC and advancetrac off 100% serious.Never told everybody to turn it off. I really don't care if they do or don't. But it makes for good car and coffee vids vids when they turn just the TC off to be youtube superstars.
Even that's not the real story.The crashes are when they turn both the TC and advancetrac off 100% serious.
Testosterone filled guys want to show off for the camera, they dont let off the throttle no matter what, advancetrac forces that if its going bad and does save lives, keep it on. I know some may argue natural selection but innocents could get killed so IMO always leave advancetrac on on the streets. I learned the hard way. There is no valid argument to turn advancetrac off on the streets.Even that's not the real story.
Crashes like those happen specifically because drivers try to operate out past what their skill set can support. It really is that simple.

But those are the guys turning it off, to, as I said earlier try to become youtube superstars. As Norm said, they're driving well beyond their skillset, and/or the cars capabilities. The last HPDE course I took, the instructor used cars with all those nannies disabled. He said 'it's like the teacher giving you the answers.. you might get a A+, but your still a dumbass'.Testosterone filled guys want to show off for the camera, they dont let off the throttle no matter what, advancetrac forces that and does save lives, keep it on
