Congrats on getting the car back! Dont pay too much attention to everyone giving you a hard time about VDC being off. I always drive with mine off and never have a problem. Seems like the accident was caused by getting cut off and you trying to swerve out of the way too quickly on a wet road.

...and you can't do THAT with VDC on! (actually, I haven't tried. But I will. I just need a gun and a protractor).

if VDC wasn't so overbearingly invasive i don't think people would turn it off as much. On my daily commute, VDC comes on several times, when i turn it off, i dont even notice those places because its not like it kicked in because the tail was going to spun out. There was maybe a slight loss of traction on one wheel and it totally bogs the whole car down. If nissan did a a better job of engineering it instead of it just being like 'OMG SLIGHT SLIP! STOP EVERYTHING!' less people would be turning it off

VDC's biggest downfall in keeping the car out of accidents is how overbearing it is. If there were varying levels of VDC people would be less likely to just shut it off, but if its 'annoying nanny that ruins all the fun' or the slight risk of spinning out, i think a lot of people choose the latter, and on a modern sports car like this, it shouldn't be so black and white. |
