Point taken. Except for a bit of velocity on DNT, I drive like a priest--well, seminarian. I'm not one for weaving all through traffic. And, never do I anything that endangers anyone else consciously. I've had DSC kick in a grand total of ONCE--and I thought it was a good example as to why to get it. Sometimes things are beyond our control--SUVs jump in front of you and you have to get on the brakes. When things are beyond your control is exactly when you need things like DSC. Sometimes expierence and training isn't enough--a bit of technical help will save your bacon.

I did get passed by a Ferrari going about 120 this evening. I was doing 65 in a 65.

In your example, please add some realism: the 28 year old has good insurrance and the SLK500 is repaired without issue. The premiums rise appropriately (first ding in years) and no suit is filed.
