The whole part about the electronic stability control comparisons was false. Every time they drove a car with the electronics off, they drove like an inexperienced, incompetent driver. Granted, the average driver doesn't know how to handle a car and needs either better driving instruction or electronics to drive the car for them in the case of an emergency.
When Tiff was driving the Vauxhall with the ESP disabled, he turned the wheel to the right and held it there. Of course, the car turned to the right in a controllable drift. If he turned into the drift, as anyone experienced enough to safely operate a motor vehicle would do, the car wouldn't even have spun out.
Then at the end, they drive a Toyota with a roll cage in it. The first run at speed, the driver gives it a Scandinavian Flick by turning to the left then quickly to the right, throwing the car into a drift that took it off into the grass. This proved that drifting a small car at 70 mph is a bad idea, not that ESC is needed in all cars. In the second run at highway speeds, the "professional stunt driver" turns right then left, causing the rear of the car to slide out. Anticipating this, a good driver would counter-steer to catch the slide before it happens (I know how to; I've done it before).
Instead of mandating that every car sold has electronics that drive the car for you, why not teach people how to drive the car themselves. What happens when the new generation of drivers that don't know how to recover a skid drives an old car that doesn't have these electronics? Or worse, what happens when the electronics fail?
