Anti slip resistance
« on: June 21, 2011, 10:35:08 PM »
I am not quite sure what to make of this.  What does it do?  Apart from the light on my dash coming on when I put my foot down on a wet road leaving a roundabout or going on tram tracks.  Should I turn this off?  What are you guys thinking, please?

It's called traction control, it backs the power off when you shouldn't be using it.

Thought so. Noticed the gas stopping when the dash light is on. All that technology and patronising is driving me bonders. Thanks guys.

Oy, give me some credit. I can handle a car with or without traction control.   :wave:
