That's one secondary safety system I'm a fan of. I hate the supplemental restraint systems (I'd prefer to simply wear my seatbelt to protect me from collisions than have to wear it to protect myself from the airbags that "supplement" it) and in dodgy traction I hit the dash switch to disable the backup electro-hydraulic traction control. I prefer my foot operated traction control, which most people call a manual transmission.
