Fact of the matter is, people should know how to drive in order to never get sideways. Then you would never need TCS, ABS, BCS, ABC, CBS, NBC or any other channel....

This shit should be manditory. Pretty soon we will be able to drive totaly plastered, safely.

I call it progress. No more chrashes, into sheds, doorways, porches, gas pumps, lightpoles in open areas, swing sets a 100 ft from the road (you know who you are), and gates at the airport.

It will also help with the epidemic of asian women drivers. Now if they could figure out how to make cars blow up when turn signals are left on for more than 10 mins the world will be better off.

*edit*

Need to add cars fliping end over end to ths list of drunken stupidity

I still think that we need a tiered license system like the have in most European countries... and have annual proficiency tests... that way if you CAN'T drive, you are stuck in a shitty car that can't go fast enough to hurt anything except your ego.

I just think the morons who talk on their cellphones in the winter time while driving should be whipped away from the gene pool. This should get rid of about 65-100% of all ditch divers, fatal wrecks, and intersection t bones. In Germany where my boss is from if you are even caught talking on your cellphone in the best of conditions you get a HUGE ticket.

All of the "traction control" bull shit, is more of an excuse to drive stupid. It's kind of like the retards who speed on new seward because they have 4x4.. or AWD... Doesn't make you invincible.

I have no issue talking on a phone and driving..

you don't restrict an act for individual abuse, you restrict the individual that abuses.

Untrue. I can get virtually any car sideways no matter what tire or software.
