Overall, it seems to have good advantages but I want to ascertain if there are any other possible reverse consequences to the extent in some instances it maybe best to turn it off and stay with basic opposite lock skills etc. I need to find a skidpad and experiment |
DSC would have to be the best safety feature ever invented, closely followed or on par with
ABS
You don't have to expect anything. Just drive the car as you normally would. If the tail steps out the DSC will assist you in correcting it, nothing more. If you swerve at high speed to miss a roo you'll most likely hit a tree or something much bigger than the roo, but if there's space the DSC will have much more chance of keeping the car on the road than you do regardless of your ability.
Having said that, it's always a good idea to find a skidpan and "experiment"
