Safety with ESP, which saved my life...
I swear it to you that on one rainy day on the express way at 90+ mph or (144kph+) on long inclining sweeping right curve, I came upon a car parked on the left side of this 2 lane road. It was too late to stop and I was coming straight toward this vehicle. All I could to do was step off the gas and aim my wheel to the open lane. I struggled with the steering wheel as the car's tires were squealing. I came pass that car thankfully by less than a foot! And as I was going pass this parked car, I could feel my brakes individually brake while my car was straightening itself out... During these freak moments all I could think about was how ESP just saved my life and prevented me from hitting that parked car straight on. By the way kids don't try this home... leave your ESP on... thankfully Mercedes Benz did'nt allow this system to fully shut off should you turn esp system off.
