This thread was linked back to in another thread about VDC, and after reading everyone trashing the OP (yeah, he made a mistake... haven't we all?), I felt compelled to add my two cents. Is that against the rules?

It depends on the situation... you can't say VDC could have fixed or not fixed it. If he came into the turn to fast and was trying to stabilize the car and used the proper method to stabilize the car. VDC will kick in and he will succeed in what began as a possible fail of a turn. Now if the driver came into a turn to fast and his instinct went against the general laws of physics that would allow him to correct his mistake. The vdc couldn't correct his lack of skill, therefore the accident will happen regardless.
Vdc is an aid to a skilled driver that may miscalculate a move but can and will recovery from a sudden mistake. The vdc will multiply the evasive maneuver and put the driver back on track quicker than he can do on his own. But when that driver didn't use proper procedure or instinct. He will fail, because VDC is no miracle software. Just like most components of a car. The car can only aid in prevention. VDC can't prevent all on its own.
PS. No one is saying its against the rules. But your analysis of the whole situation is as narrow as the narrowminded members you criticise. And for a so called racer I expected you to post with a more objective view. I do see your frustration though. The OP is being honest and he should be commented with a little more respect. Respect is something that seems to fall short here at times.
