Is It Better To Drive With Traction Control On Or Off-The Truth

In this video, I talk about driving a car with traction control. I specifically address whether it is better to drive with traction control on or off. This has been a long standing debate, and many people stand on both sides of the argument. So I made this video to clear it all up and tell you about the situations in which it is better to drive with traction control engaged, and another very specific situation in which you might consider turning it off.

Thanks bud for clearing it out for me in few simple words. Now I'm relaxed to drive my new toyota corolla on traction control 😎 you are a genius.

[@verb5066]

Why are you yelling at me

[@MyLifeThai371]

I won't ever buy a car that does not have the traction control off button in it. I had one and I was always stuck in the mud and snow. Ever since then with my newer cars, the first thing I do when I get in EVERY TIME is shut off the traction control.

[@NurseEmilie]

You said almost all people need to keep traction control on. Well, I live in the south and I'm part of that almost all of us, but I don't have to worry about snow and other things on the road. Everyone doesn't live up north where you have nasty weather a lot of the year. I drive safely and don't use traction control.

[@ranahassan4931]

Almost as to keep your wipers on while driving on a dry road with clear skies in case it starts raining ......god forbid you forget to turn them when you need them 😅😅

[@VJChax56]

Finally a simple video on this topic

[@Willy12927]

Been driving for close to 60 years and during that time, I have driven in some of the most treacherous winter conditions imaginable, all without traction control. To me, traction control is nothing but a crutch for those who wont take the time or don't really want to learn how to drive in adverse conditions. So the first thing I do whenever driving in snowy conditions is to turn off the traction control and trust my driving skills.

[@mohammedraja7099]

Spot on buddy, explained well and simple 👍🏽💯 If your a crazy driver like me TC OFF lol More lose and in control of the car, but does cost me tyres 🥵 fun at a cost But if your normal and not crazy then TC ON regular cars always have TC ON, then you would actually turn the TC OFF yourself But like he said slippery, icy or rainy day then even I’m not that crazy enough to drive with TC OFF 😂🤣😂 maybe on race track

[@sharuljanudin4337]

Thanks bro, and this video. I thought when I press the button it means on. I kinda press it everytime it's slippery out there. Now that I know better, I don't need to ever press it, unless maybe I want to go to the limits of my car, like you. I'm crazy too, it's just that it's my first time having a car that have TC off button 🤣🤣🤣

[@alt2484]

This really depends, i say if you have a background in simracing without TC with many different vehicles and in a realistic simracing title like ACC or iRacing, or race IRL with no TC. You can turn it off, cuz you definitely have the throttle control to drive without TC. But since 99% of people have terrible pedal control, if you don’t have any simracing or racing background without TC, leave it on.

[@matthewanthony4606]

What? Bro this is real life not a fakin video game lmao

[@slommyy]

@@matthewanthony4606 if you play a simracing game like assetto corsa that's almost 1:1 with irl controls it definitely helps build real life muscle memory for pedal/wheel control

[@jacobstephens8447]

"If you played games go ahead, if you didn't, don't even try to learn. You suck."

[@MyBacktrail]

Another way to say it might be "if you have never driven in snow and you are a millenial you're probably better off with traction control on because you are less intelligent than the car you are driving." Traction control is only for low skilled drivers, PERIOD.

[@XAVIER_007]

What if I am driving on a clean road with no rain or mud or whatsoever? Then, should I still keep the TC on? And what if I am driving on the clean road and it starts raining then should I turn TC on or it won't make difference as normal raining is a normal thing for a vehicle and don't need TC for it? TC is only when you go through the muddy, slippery, or snow road?

[@alt2484]

if u have good throttle control, sure turn it off. But 99% of drivers have terrible throttle control. So even if you think you have good throttle control, your probably bad.

[@dadon2544]

I would leave it on going thru slippery roads, I would turn it off if your stuck stationary, I would leave it on driving regularly on roads, freeway.

[@richardleetulio7441]

Better Call Saul

[@medicinewithdr.zouayang3779]

First time EVER that I had to turn down my set volume setting due to a video.

[@HueJackCity66]

So what are the stats of trac control acually preventing accidents? I have driven cars for many years in rain and slick roads WITHOUT trac control. I have cars with trac control. Honestly I cannot tell the difference. I have owned cars with awd. Still hydro plane and got stuck in snow. Just another automaker gimmick. Insurance rates are still going up and car accidents are higher than ever. Pumping the brakes is good and slamming the brakes is bad. Simple.

[@claudiovictoria2246]

Very helpful!! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@JeriFnKing]

You should tell why it comes on when you on dry roads she all of a sudden it kicks in

[@mkashiff1]

Ok but please don't shout on me

Does turning TC off also turns off ABS ?
