  3. How? to drive safely without ESP – Don’t floor it like a nob head and learn accelerator control.
    Simples!

  5. The reason? the car in the video with ESP OFF is? going faster is because with ESP ON, it won’t let a car go beyond the? point where it can’t maintain grip. Meaning, the driver can hit the acceleration hard as he wants, the car won’t go faster if it means losing traction. Learn how the system works before you complain about it.

  6. That dodge ram looks useless without esp.. I wouldn’t own? that even with esp.. this isn’t jet fighters that need to be unstable from the ground up and use computers to keep them in the air..

  9. so the wrangler at the end of the video is doing? just fine until the driver decided to hold a left turn for no real reason at all FAIL.

    <3 my JK.

  12. This is all faked and acted. The? vehicles intentionally swerve out of control in tests 1,2 & 5. Also the driver without stability control (left) drives faster than the other. Also you may note this crazy drive doesn’t bother to take his foot off the pedal while driving in snow around cones at about 25-30 km hr. A fair test lads?

  16. /already been done, I leave everyone in the dust and take almost all my turns side ways. Show people? how to really drive =p

  17. You turn it off if you’re rocking the car out of snow (traction control function) or have a? compact spare on.

    Since you can brake each wheel independently and adjust the pressure 100 times a second while adjusting throttle, you clearly can drive better than ESP. Just go pull the ABS fuse next winter and tell us how much better you’re driving.

  19. Something the ESP doesnt have is eyes and doesnt know what is really going on besides the car losing control, many times this winter the ABS which I cant turn off nearly caused me to crash. Not because its malfunctioning, I have driven several different cars and they all behave the same. I know what I have to do to make it safely through, the ABS or ESP just knows how to keep the car in control. Tell me why there is an? off button if the manufacturer knew ESP should be on at all times?

  20. You sir are a complete fucking idiot. The chance of the the cars computer making a mistake as compared to you? making a mistake is minimal…

  21. All of the people saying that ESP is stupid must not understand it. ESP can brake on individual wheels rather than all 4. Yes you can? countersteer but this corrects for over steering.

  22. I’ve got a 2010 Ram and when I turn off the ESP I can do donuts all day long in a snowy parking lot.

    I? realize that not all cars have that option and it must be frustrating with one of those cars. There are definitely times when it would be beneficial to turn ESP off.

  23. the only way to fully disable esp is to wire a toggle switch into the sensor(s) i have? no problem having esp active while on road, but sometimes when im in the mud or snow i like to have my fun, and i hate fighting the computer to do donuts.
