Driving Safety, Welcome

Welcome all to a Blog that has been put off for too long. Time to put my confusing thoughts out in the public now.

Alright, so there's this new thing that is being incorporated into more and more auotmobiles called Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) also known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or as the Volvos refer to it: DSTC. Many are calling it equally as great of an advance in safety as the seatbelt. Hereby blowing Anti-lock brakes out of the water. Among vehicles in an NHTSA study, DSC reduced single vehicle crashes in passenger cars by 35 percent when compared to the same models sold in prior years without the technology. The preliminary results were even more dramatic for the sample of SUVs in the study: Single vehicle crashes were reduced by 67 percent in models with DSC. Evaluating fatal crashes only, DSC was associated with a 30 percent reduction for passenger cars, 63 percent for SUVs. By the year 2007 Honda amongst many other car companies will have DSC standard on all of their vehicles.

Let's just say that going 50mph around a 100 degree turn is the threshold as which DSC is getting a run for its money in a MINI Cooper S. Thank you DSC. You keep me in college.
