VDC not so bad, actually darn good

I'm just teasing, guys. But in all seriousness, I think you can read Tin's post in at least two different ways. He references hitting gaps in traffic and crossing fast moving traffic. If you read that to mean situations like changing lanes, or maybe merging onto a highway, then yeah, it sounds kinda nuts that he'd be breaking his rears loose. But he might also be referring to pulling into traffic from a stop sign, or maybe scooting across an intersection from a stop sign against cross-traffic. He does say "crossing fast moving traffic" after all. Now, in those circumstances, I can see breaking the rears loose, and I can also see how VDC kicking in could be dangerous. Picture yourself at a stop sign. Cars are zipping across in front of you from both directions. You're going straight through to the other side. You see a gap. It's not huge, but it's a definite gap and you nail it, only for VDC to kick in and bog you down in the middle of the intersection. Not good.
