For all of you who think turning it off is such a good idea watch this video at the bottom of the page.

To me, that was a stable love affair.

 

Sacrelige, you should know that all S2000 owners are far better drivers than that lot...and a civic isn't an S anyway

 

I spy a can o' worms that's just been opened

Personally, I'm all for VSA/ESP/DSC etc.

 

I've got it fitted to my S2000 and it certainly works well, no scary losing the back end moments that the S2000 is known for, it's a good safety feature well worth the extra few pounds.

 

You can turn it off if you want to feck about, so why not

 

As long as it's passive and switchable then why not?

 

Racelogic do one - maybe we should do a Group Buy.

I'd rather spend the money on driver training to learn how to driver properly instead of relying on yet another electronic device. This is the problem with most modern motorists, they've have it far too easy, and modern cars don't "teach" you anything. I’m no saying we should descend back into the dark ages of motoring, but modern cars are far to “easy” and this only leads to over compensation and complacency, which I think is far more dangerous.

Take the latest crop of Evo's for example. Top Gear have clearly shown how you can drive like a complete tool and still not crash. Yet should one of those devices stop working one day, the driver could get a nasty shock. Sure TG are testing this to extremes, but it's still a valid point.

However, if they are fitted as standard, then so long as I can turn it off, that's defiantly the lesser of two evils.

 

iagree:
i've had a couple of "moments" when it would have helped when concentration was not 100% - yes i know it should always be 100%. lets face it, the majority of us have a car way beyond our own abilities, and most of the time we are not totally focused on the drive.
