From November this year, every time a car manufacturer introduces a new model in the EU it will have to have anti-skid technology called Electronic Stability Control fitted as standard.

From 2014 ESC will have to be included on every new car, even existing models.


Personally I think focussing on better driving standards is more worthwhile, all these additions that make the driver feel more invincible and more detached from the controls of the car simply feeds bad driving habits and manouvres

Think we should all just buy tax exempt beetles and put 911 engines in them.
