Xan nice find. ill give you thst. That being said, seems as though between all those years there was never more then 50% reduction in accidents. In 2006 there were 56% fatal crashes and that was it. Also that was a overal survey done on all vehicals. The dabate here is of all the 370z accidents, how many were caused by the driver turning of VDC. You show me a chart of that and if it shows more accidents were caused due to having vdc off, ill shut up.
Becasue all i seen from the forums is either people running red lights and hitting a Z, people thinking someone is going to hit them so the swurve out of the way and hit something.

Have fun, but I won't be wasting my time on you... Maybe you should start try your debate with the NHTSA, as they do agree it reduces accidents, so much so that they have a regulation for it, requiring all vehicles under 10k pounds, to have this system as a standard. And no, they didn't make an exception for your 370Z.... Electronic Stability Control (ESC) | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) But by all means, fight the power! I'm done arguing ignorance....

I never said that it doesnt save you from accidents. I said turning it off wont cause accidents and if you rely on it, like this guy....
instead of knowing what to actually do, then you shouldnt be driving a car. Sure by all means have it on, im not arguing that its a good tool. But when you get lazy and say "why do i need to learn something the computer will do for me" instead of knowing what is actually going on and how to get out of it...you shouldnt be driving.

. LOL You have it... I just want my job to be just watching the road, watching other cars, avoiding police, avoiding pedestrians, finding my way, steering, pushing the gas pedal or hitting the brakes. I want to do things no computer can do.....

I am thinking that in 100 years cars will be totally automated in every respect and so the only debate will be whether or not one should tell the car where to go. ( traditionalists) or let the car choose the destination based on computer generated models of the driver's preferences!!!

Anyways im done with this thread, like i said, if you want VDC on, thats fine. But if you rely on it to do your work and not learn what to actually do, then you shouldnt be driving a car.

VDC OFF = dead
I have only turned off VDC about three times, once when stuck on ice, once when I wanted to see how quickly the rear breaks out and once when doing a 0-60 run. I have no reason to turn off VDC. I don't drive hard enough to engage it but its nice knowing its there. you can say all you want about "blabla learn to drive" but situations where your rear breaks out and you have to counter steer and **** doesnt sound like normal driving. in the almost a year of owning a Z I never had the rear break out on accident and im still driving around in near freezing temperatures on stock tires. The only time I regretted VDC was when once in a while it would come on after coming out of a corner at francorchamps and flooring it in third. |
