Forget safety... There's nothing worse than forgetting to turn the damn thing off when someone pulls up and wants to go :nonono: and then you get kicked in the balls right at the start :gt:

Result, always turn mine off :thumbsup:

i think its a nice feature and i never had any issues
light comes on some times but the car has never
just died or lose all of its power
I leave mine on most of the time also. I turn it off for play time though :-D

I've heard bad things about the sensitivity of the TC. A guy said his went off on Uneven pavement. I hate it, unless its raining.

If you ever had to pull out in traffic, you would realize that the T/C is nothing but a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Thanks sunshine, If I ever have to revert to leaving my private roads and wonder on to public roads I will keep your advice in mind. :rollseyes

I leave it on, most of the time it's so insensitive I'm already correcting by the time it kicks in anyway.

It's almost useless, but not bad for long drives in snow and/or ice.

I leave it on most of the time. It helps me drive sane. Turn it off when I want to get crazy but, most of the time I am taking it easy...
