Judge all you want, but wrecking a car isn't always for a lack of skill....it's a lack of control and the environment the crash occurs. You can't just apply a blanket statement like that. It's like saying race drivers don't know how do drive either because they crash all time.....and without the help of VDC.

It also has a lot to do with knowing how your car behaves. If VDC is never on, you know the threshold better than someone who turns it off once a year. It has nothing to do with driving skill and noone is "blaming VDC Off" as the cause, it's a contributing factor along with speed, road conditions, driver awareness and weather.
