For me i love it when the Traction control light blinks.It just shows that im driving in the upper limits of my car; which indicates that im a good driver.

So over cooking your car into bends/roundabouts makes you a good driver?

How about regularly managing to reduce the A-B journey times while keeping a clean licence, an undamaged car and no deaths on your conscience whilst still having an enjoyable and exhilarating journey?

I know because people flash their lights and beep their horns to show their admiration for my skills and often raise a single digit, indicating that I am number one!

When my ball doesn`t go out of bounds and stays on the course?

Doesn`t happen much so I mostly use an iron off the tee. Or sometimes a putter or a wedge and occasionally I pick it up and throw it. If I`m wearing steel toe capped boots I can also kick it a fair distance.

But a driver? nope I`m a crap driver.

Since the age of about 4 when I was in my gokart I've known I was something really very special in the driving stakes.

I go into a sort of trance, which is always bordering on transcendental and frequently going over; I genuinely think I'm channeling the collective spirits of Fangio, Clark and Senna. It's just astounding.

The looks on peoples faces when I pull up in the car park at Sainsburys indicates they know they're in the presence of something ethereal.

But yeah, a flickering traction control light is probably similar.

Is this a wind up?

No really, is it?

You think that your inability to modulate your right foot to the extent that you are relying on some electronics to do it for you makes you a good driver? Wow...

In some cars i drive the engine light on the dash lights up in bright yellow or red, to show me I'm pushing the car to its upper limits

This simply HAS to be a wind up.

I love driving.
I believe I read the road well, I'm courteous and fair. I hate bad drivers and poor manors.

As for being a good driver, faster than anyone else? I am only as good as the car I'm driving. I'm no driving god.

The traction control light on the TVR has never lit up. I'm a pretty bad driver then. frown

See S3000s post on "Following a good driver".

Suitable time for some sort of wind up meme?

To be fair, it's probably broken

I've only made the traction control light on my car come one once...

I've only had it on once but hey ho.

Also, this thread has to be a joke...

Please let it be a joke.
