It pushes the laws of physics quite a lot further because it acts in ways no human driver can: on individual wheels and in milliseconds. DSC has extended the handling and safety of a wide range of cars. The Porsche 911 would have been consigned to the scrap heap of history if not for DSC and related aids.DSC and ABS are among the most important tech devs to come along. I've only had DSC kick in a few times in controlled situations, on country roads with little traffic, just to see what the cornering limits of the car are. They're pretty high in the E90, and less high on other cars I've owned. :top:I've had ABS kick in many times in real emergencies, eg. when idiot drivers/riders go through red lights. It's saved the idiots and the front-end of my cars many a time. If everyone had ABS and knew how to emergency brake with it, we probably wouldn't have so many multiple car pile-ups.Good to attend advanced driving courses to learn how to use these aids properly. BTW, BMW is offering a whole day session driving real Formula BMW FB02s in Sepang on 30th July, complete with advanced driving training. RM4,500 for non-White Card and RM4,050 for White Card. Tailor-made for hot-doggers like astroboy. :top:</blockquote>
