Nismo Accident Pics -- Very Sad

Cyberium · 02-23-2010, 05:58 PM

I drive mostly with VDC off on dry sunny days because I consider myself an experienced enough driver to handle it. Although, it is ALWAYS on when the roads are slick or it's raining. VDC works as intended. If it senses any slippage it will kick in and slow down the rear wheels. Say if your pulling onto a major road from a side street and you give it a little gas and the rear end kicks out the VDC will automatically kick in and kill your rear wheel spin which essentially straightens you out. I find VDC scarier than non-vdc mode for this reason alone. I don't like not being in 100% control of my car.

There is something wrong with that logic. If the end of the your car is slipping out of control, then you by definition are not in control of your car. If you are always 100% in control of your car, then the VDC should never kick in, no?

Nothing wrong with that logic at all. Skilled drivers can be in control of a car that's upside down and on fire.
